William the Troll-Gandalf-Durin's Bane-Gothmog-Echthelion

That perhaps works, as Durin's Bane would have had to have 'met' Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs.

That was precisely what I was thinking. Go ahead, Beren!

Woohoo!

Bard-Feanor

Bard-> Gandalf-> Manwë-> Fëanor
or
Bard-> Bilbo-> Frodo-> Galadriel-> Fëanor

Ah, I'm going to have to work harder at this. The second one was what I had in mind.

Your turn of course.

Enerdhil-> Lorgan

Anybody?

I cannot seem to find who on Middle-Earth Enerdhil was...

That's the whole idea, my friend...

He's in a small chapter within a chapter of a ....book... hehehe [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Well, he doesn't seem to be in LotR or The Silm, unless he is in Rotk's appendices.

Hint: akhtene wouldn't know because she doesn't have the book.

unless by some odd chance she does know and in that case, she'd better go ahead and post! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aha!

Enerdhil-Idril-Tuor-Lorgan

That's it!

Mim-Treebeard

Mîm ->Húrin ->Elwë ->Galadriel ->Gandalf ->Treebeard

I don't think Galadriel met Treebeard or if Húrin met Galadriel, but if either one of those metting occured, you can deduct the chain for me.

Wow, that was EXACTLY the way I did it. Your turn! (and I don't think they met either)

Oromë ->Beorn

As short as possible.

Oromë-Melkor-Smaug-Bilbo-Beorn

Close, but no cigar.

You have four degrees of Seperation, it is possible to get three.

Oromë-Mawë-Gandalf-Beorn

Did Manwë meet Gandalf? Lórien or Nienna would have been more plausable, but i'll still give it to you, since you were on the right track.

Well, Gandalf was a Maia of Manwë and Varda, though also Nienna’s greatest pupil. SO Manwë works.

Elros->Orodreth

[ January 13, 2003: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Elros - Elrond - Galadriel - Orodreth

Was a bit easy eh? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Your turn.

Ar-Zimraphel - Elmo

(this is probably pretty easy as well)

Did you mean Ulmo. Only because I've never read about an Elmo.

If you did...

Ar-Zimraphel ->Ar- Pharazôn -> Sauron ->Melkor ->Ulmo


Note: I haven't read Akallabêth for a long time and I'm not sure if Míriel met Sauron. If so.

Ar-Zimraphel ->Sauron ->Melkor ->Ulmo

[ January 13, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]

Nope I didnt, but a good connection. Elmo is Elwe and Olwe's younger brother (according to UT) and it seems to be held as fact though i am not sure about that. My previous question still stands.

I didn't think so:

In that case:

Ar- Zimraphel ->Sauron ->Melkor ->Beren ->Elwë ->Elmo

Great, mine went like thus:

Ar-Zimraphel - Elendil - Elrond - Celeborn - Elmo

or was it

Ar-Zimraphel - Elendil - Gil-Galad - Fingon - Celeborn - Elmo

but perhaps that one doesn't work. The first one definately does because I am assuming Celeborn did know his grandfather.

Your turn!

Cool.

Elwë ->Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

Quite easy.

Elwë -> Galadriel -> Frodo -> Lobelia

Quite Easy, Eh, Bruce. Your Turn!

Here you go then:
Adrahil -> Frerin
http://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili.../firedevil.gif

Adrahil-Imrahil-Gandalf-Thorin II-Frerin

Adrahil was either the father or grandfather of Imrahil, either way they would have met.

And btw, WHERE on earth do you pull these characters. I didn't even know who Adrahil was!

Heh!
Very nice Beren - your turn.

Adrahil was also Denethor's father-in-law, so the connection could have been made that way.

Maeglin-Gollum

Maeglin -> Tuor or Idril -> Eärendil -> Elrond -> Aragorn, Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, etc -> Gollum

Ah, not the path I took, but an easier one. I always do it more difficultly in my head.

Your turn Bruce!

Zamîn -> Estelmo

Zamîn ->Erendis ->Elendil ->Isildur ->Etselmo

That is a complete (but educated) guess concerning Erendis and Elendil!
