Sorry Elrian. Try again. You are close though.

Joy 06-05-2002 05:50 AM

Sorry for not giving the answer right after midnight. I took Ambien for the first time and was knocked our in 15 minutes.

Okay, Here's the answer:

Fréaláf -> Tindómiel

Fréaláf -> Saurman -> Pippen(Or any of the Fellowship except Frodo/Sam)-> Elrond-> Elros -> Tindómiel

Lindolirian 06-05-2002 04:09 PM

I think perhaps you should go again.

Joy 06-06-2002 09:03 PM

How's this one: Maglor -> Thengel

Lindolirian 06-07-2002 12:02 PM

Maglor-> Eonwe-> Olorin-> Theoden-> Thengel

Joy 06-07-2002 09:14 PM

That'll work [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I had something else in mind though -
Maglor -> Elwing -> Elrond - Thorongil(Aragorn) -> Thengel

Your turn anyway.

Lindolirian 06-08-2002 01:11 PM

Halfast->Beleg

Joy 06-08-2002 10:50 PM

Halfast->Beleg

Halfast -> Samwise Gamgee -> Elrond -> Tuor
-> Turin Turambar -> Beleg

I am working on the assumption that Elrond knew his grandfather Tuor, who sailed to the West in 560 1st Age. Elrond was born in 525 1st Age.

Lindolirian 06-09-2002 05:01 PM

That could work. I was thinking of:
Halfast-> Sam-> Galadriel-> Melian-> Beleg
your turn!

Joy 06-09-2002 05:19 PM

That's true. I didn't think about that one.

How about
Pervinca Took -> Soronto

This one can be done, just takes a bit of thinking.

Am I going to have to give this one away too??? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Am I making them too hard for you guys?

Lindolirian 06-15-2002 10:50 AM

Let's see:
Pervinca Took-> Pippin-> Aragorn-> Lords of the Adùnië-> Soronto
i don't know if that will count, but Aragorn was descended from Elendil who was a Lord of the Adunie i believe who were close relations of the Royal Family of Numenore which Soronto was part of (grandson of Tar-Meneldur)

Joy 06-15-2002 09:36 PM

Lindolirian, I will accept that. Great job. That one was very difficult.


I was thinking along this route though,
Pervinca, Pippin, Elrond, Tar-Elendil, Tar-Aldarion, Soronto.

Lindolirian 06-17-2002 12:43 PM

ok how bout:
Dudo Baggins-> Curufin

Lothiriel Silmarien 06-17-2002 04:01 PM

Dudo Baggins-> Curufin:

Dudo Baggins-> Bilbo (or Frodo)-> Elrond-> Tuor-> Turgon-> Curufin

I'm pretty sure Turgon and Curufin met!! Hopefully, I wanna get this right!

Lindolirian 06-17-2002 09:26 PM

Yes, I believe they met in Valinor at least. I was thinking of
Dudo -> Frodo -> Galadriel -> Finrod -> Curufin. but urs was coerrect as well. Go for it.

Lothiriel Silmarien 06-18-2002 11:07 AM

Woohoo!!!!

Maedhros-> Mablung Of Ithilien

Joy 06-18-2002 03:59 PM

Maedhros -> Fëanor -> Galadriel-> Frodo-> Faramir ->Mablung Of Ithilien

Lothiriel Silmarien 06-18-2002 05:37 PM

You know you got it right! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Your turn now...

Joy 06-18-2002 06:56 PM

Excellent! Here goes:

Annael -> Manwendil

Lindolirian 06-19-2002 01:14 PM

Annael-> Tuor-> Earendil-> Elros-> Manwendil

Joy 06-19-2002 01:30 PM

Very good Lindolirian. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Lindolirian 06-23-2002 01:57 PM

Sorry for the wait.

Mardil Voronwe-> Lindir

Joy 06-23-2002 02:13 PM

Mardil Voronwë -> Eärnur -> Gil-galad -> Elrond -> Lindir.

Lindolirian 06-24-2002 11:42 AM

How did Earnur know Gil-Galad?

Daniel Telcontar 06-24-2002 01:27 PM

If Joy changes Gil-galad to Glorfindel, it will be correct, sine Glorfindel and Earnur met when they fought the Witch-king of Angmar.

Joy 06-24-2002 01:52 PM

Thanks Daniel, that was who I was thinking of [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]. I was thinking about the Witch-King prophecy that was given to Eänur.

So Mardil Voronwë ->Eänur ->Glorfindel-> Elrond -> Lindir.

Lindolirian 06-24-2002 02:57 PM

Good, thats what i wasthinking. You had me a bit confused with that Gil-Galad thing tho.. Your turn Joy. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Joy 06-29-2002 12:20 AM

Grimbeorn -> Arador

Lush 06-29-2002 12:19 PM

Grimbeorn>>>Beorn>>>Bilbo>>>Aragorn>>>Arathron II>>>Arador.

Ok, I'm sure that Joy has a better answer in mind, but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Joy 06-29-2002 08:23 PM

Actually Lush, this is exactly what I had in mind! Your turn.

Lush 06-30-2002 01:02 PM

Sweet!!!
How about:
Pippin>>>Ulmo?

This is incredibly, disgustingly easy. I am ashamed that this is all I can think of.

Lothiriel Silmarien 06-30-2002 01:27 PM

Pippin-> Ulmo

Pippin -> Aragorn-> Arwen-> Elrond-> Tuor-> Ulmo

Pretty sure Pippin met Arwen, but I'm not taking chances! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lush 07-02-2002 09:04 PM

That's a great connection, but there is even a shorter, and more obvious one! Think of mothers!

Ithaeliel 07-03-2002 06:10 PM

Pippin>>Aragorn>>Elrond>>Tuor>>Ulmo. Just left Arwen out, that's probably not what you were thinking, but oh well.

Daniel Telcontar 07-05-2002 12:54 PM

It is not with mothers, but even shorter:

Pippin-Gandalf-Ulmo

Lindolirian 07-12-2002 03:33 PM

As Lush stated in this thread, she will be gone for a few weeks. I'd say that it would be Daniel Telcontar's turn since his was the shortest. (I have no idea what her mother connection is). So, we might as well continue.

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-14-2002 07:08 PM

Is anyone going to continue?

Lindolirian 07-14-2002 07:58 PM

I'll take it.
Lothiriel-> Mablung of Doriath

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-14-2002 08:44 PM

Lothiriel was Eomer's wife if I'm not mistaken..

Lothiriel-> Eomer-> Aragorn-> Galadriel-> Mablung
And if Galadriel and Mablung never met (even though Galadriel stayed in Doriath for a while) then add Melian-> Thingol-> and then Mablung
I'm pretty sure that Mablung and Thingol met, considering that Doriath was Thingol's land.
