Both their daughters were quite wilful - they made their own decisions, etc...?

Ruitha has it!

Your go.

Okay ... Finduilas, of Dol Amroth, and Aredhel.

Both married a lord of Gondor?

No...

Both had elvish blood in them?
Both were decendents from lords of Dol Amroth?

Legolas rode a horse from Rohan.

No ... I'm thinking of Aredhel as in a Noldo who lived in the First Age, the sister of Fingon and Turgon, Gil-galad. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

They both married bold, masterful men, and were eventually (directly or indirectly) killed by them.

Aredhel --> the poisoned dart flung by Eol
Finduilas --> when darkness began to "contaminate" Denethor, she sensed it, and began to "fade."

Close, but not quite what I'm looking for...

Both of their kids had weird relationships with their fathers?

*laughs*
Okay, you're basically there. You just need to be slightly more specific. Stay with the father/son thing.

Both had husbands who disdained/hated their sons, and directly or indirectly tried to kill them?

Okay, you got it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

Ingwë and Imrahil

Both were leading a small part of a greater army to battle?

Their daughters married someone not from their house?

They both took realms by the sea, or had things to do with swans (eg: swan knights of Dol Amroth and Swan ships of Aqualonde)

Nope.

May we have a hint, please, Finwe? ;)

HINT: It has to do with their siblings.

*bump* This game is too much fun to die! I'm clueless, but someone must know the answer.

Ok... I'll give you guys another hint...


HINT: Look what their sisters did.

Herm...no clue, time to guess. Both their sisters bore two sons? Faramir and Boromir for Finduilas and Fingolfin and Finarfin for Indis.

Since Finwe hasn't checked in in over ten days, I'll steal the thread:)

What is the connection between

Gimli and Feanor

Didn't both ask Galadriel for some of her hair?

Going out on a limb here... both loved Galadriel? I think I remember reading that Feanor loved Galadriel, but she didn't love him.

And the winner is...
 

Firefoot got it! You're next.

Oh dear... I completely forgot about this thread... Anyway... in hindsight, the answer to mine was:

Both of their sisters had husbands who died untimely deaths.

Okay, thanks, Thorongil!

Gollum and Balin.

Hmmm...
 

Both of them went looking for Rings of Power?

Not what I'm looking for.

They both lived in the Misty Mountains for a time? Gollum in his cave and Balin in Moria?

Nope.

They both died in a place full of fire? Gollum died at Mount Doom, which is very fiery, and Balin died in Moria, which has a balrog...which is also fiery!

They both went to Moria?

Neither.

They both met Bilbo Baggins?

No.

They were both around the one ring for a while?
