Oooh.... very close with that second guess.

Ignoring the fact that Heni came very close, i think i may have found a connection:
Hurin called Thalion the steadfast, the strong, son of Galdor, husband of Moewen and father of Turin and Nienor; lord of Dor-lomin, vassel of Fingon-
Fingon, the eldest son of Fingolfin-
Fingolfin, half brother of Feanor.
i'm not exactly sure how this game works, but if you don't beieve me, look in the index of The silmarillion, pages 396 and 404.

Nope. Sorry. I'll give you guys a BIG hint.

HINT: Curses.

Their families were cursed?

RIGHT!!!!!! It's NightKnight's turn!

Whoops, that means I have to come up with something...:P

Galathil -------- Beren

Their children were married?

Sorry, I'm new to this, not sure if that counts as something in common or not. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Their children married each other.

That was what I was looking for...please go on. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm...


Finarfin -> Arwen

they both didn't go on a journey across teh sea?

OK, I'll go for the obvious. Finarfin's daughter was Arwen's grandmother (making Finarfin Arwen's great grandfather, I suppose).

Haha! Nice try, Saucy. Unfortunately, that isn't the answer.


HINT: It has to do with something they did, or didn't do. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

They both refused to journey across the great sea, or go with their relatives to battle

You're on the right track with your second guess.

Neither followed their brothers over the Sea?

both of their fathers fought aganest the dark lord

Nope. I'll give you a hint:


HINT: It has to do with their fates.

They both died a mortal way..?

Nope.

Ok...I`m taking a guess.

Finarfin stayed in Valinor when his half-brother Fëanor led the host of Noldor back to Middle-Earth, and became King for those Noldor who remained also with Finarfin.

Arwen stayed in Middle Earth instead of taking the ships to Valinor, and became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom.

Nope.

The person who came the closest was NightKnight, with that "brothers" guess. Hold onto that thought, and look at my last hint.

They chose a different fate than their brothers?

Right! Your go.

Gandalf --- Glorfindel

They both died fighting a Balrog, so that their companions could escape to safety, and then were "sent back" to help fight against Sauron.

Wow, that one was better than mine. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] My connection was that both of them threw down a balrog from a mountain, but you can continue. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Erendis and Anairë.

Okay, no-one seems to have attempted this, so I'll take a guess. Both were separated from their husbands when they (the husbands) went away over the Sea?
Ah no, wait, Fingolfin went over mountains ... sooo ... when their husbands went to Middle-earth?

That is very true, but not the answer that I'm looking for.

Their daughters were both tomboys?

Close. Very close.

Both they and their daughters seperated from their husbands?

Both had daughters that married against their will?

Nope.

Both their daughters married people they didn't like.

Nope.


HINT: It's about their daughters themselves.

They dissaproved of marrage?

Nope. I'll repeat it, it has to do with their daughters themselves, marriage involves another person.

Both their daughters lived separately from their mothers?
