Perhaps I'm a bit late pointing this out, but Dior and Elrond never met.

Yes but Dior was Elrond's grandfather.

Dior=Nimloth

Elwing=Earendil

Elrond and Elros

I know

Joy's rules (from page 1):

When tracing from one name to another there must have been interaction or implied interaction in the novels between the two characters. Also, a link can me made between names if the two characters are immediately related to each other (child, parent, spouse).

You know, I honestly forgot that Dior and Elrond never met!


I am trying to think of another link here.

I've got it now

Gimli - Galadriel - Finrod Felagund - Barahir - Angrim

thats good too. your turn

This might be a little hard.

Golfimbul -> Eowyn

Golfimbul --> Bandobras Took --> the Old Took --> Bilbo --> Frodo --> Merry --> Eowyn

hmmm is that counted as six or seven steps? there are six aroows which imply a step even though there are seven people so, six then? or not?

Very good, though I would did it without Frodo. That would make it right.

Golfimbul -> Brandobras Took -> Old Took -> Bilbo -> Merry -> Eowyn.

If you remember, Bilbo and Merry knew each other.

But otherwise, it is your turn Lindolirian.

If you wished to shortten it, you could certainly insert Gandalf in place of Bilbo and Merry, and perhaps in place of Gerontius as well.

Merry --> Yavanna

Merry --> Aragorn --> Galadriel --> Yavanna

(This is my first try at this, bear with me.)

well that would work i suppose but i was thinking of something else....

think wizards...

I would say for Merry -> Yavanna

Merry -> Gandalf -> Nessa -> Yavanna.

[ May 20, 2002: Message edited by: Joy ]

hmmmmm how did Gandalf know Nessa?

Duh my bad, I'm sorry, I meant Nienna!

Merry -> Gandalf (Olorin) -> Nienna -> Yavanna

Yes, good job.

Okay, here goes...

Uinéniel -> Gloin

Uineniel 'Erendis'-> Tar Aldarion -> Gil-Galad -> Elrond -> Bilbo-> Gloin

I hope it's right!!!!

Correct, but I had something else in mind..

Uinéniel -> Tar Aldarion -> Gil-galad -> Elrond -> Gloin

Remeber, Gloin was at Rivendell twice, once with Bilbo in the Hobbit and once in FotR, in the chapter, Many Meetings.

Oh yeah that's true. Ok, I'll give something:

Manwe-> Gimli (I feel like giving another also, so choose which one you want)
or
Mandos-> Aragorn

Manwe --> Thorondor --> Gwaihir --> Gandalf --> Gimli

Actually I was thinking of
Manwe-> Feanor-> Galadriel-> Gimli

But yours is right anyway, so go ahead! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

eh, ok..
Finarfin --> Hama

Finarfin -> Galadriel ->Aragorn, Gandalf, Gimli or Legolas -> Hama

Just for fun I want to answer
Mandos-> Aragorn

Mandos -> Nienna -> Olorin(Gandalf) -> Aragorn

[ May 28, 2002: Message edited by: Joy ]

Ooh cool Joy, you got my answer! I always think of longer ones though! I was thinking of Mandos, Luthien, Dior, Earendil, Elrond, then Aragorn but you people think of quicker ways than me. Oh well, but right anyway!

Joy is correct

Thank you, both of you!

Here's mine:

Galathil -> Dis

Galathil -> Celeborn -> Gimli -> Thorin -> Dis

[ May 28, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

Excellent job!

Ar-Pharazôn -> Faramir Took

Ar-Pharazôn -> Faramir Took


Ar-Pharazôn -> Sauron-> Elrond -> Pippin Took -> Faramir Took

Good job

Fréaláf -> Tindómiel

Any one have a clue??

Could you give a clue about who the persons are?

Daniel, I can't give those kind of clues here. But if you need to know, go to the Encyclopedia of Arda.

Here you can find the names that I have.

If no one answers by Midnight June 5th, I will post the answer and a new question.

Frealaf>Eomer>Aragorn>Arwen>Tindomiel
