Gollum?
 

A followed B?

If that's wrong, a clue?

Nope.

One of the names is not being used in the "traditional" sense. Once you figure out which, the answer should be pretty obvious.

Bill the Pony!
 

Frodo rode Strider (the pony) home,

Sam rode Bill.

Firefoot, you are my new quiz hero. :cool: :p

Thank you. :D That's correct.

Beor is to Finrod

as

Pippin is to _________

Denethor. Beor swore allegence to Finrod just as Pippin did to Denethor.

No, but interesting connection. :)

Faramir? Beor saved Finrod's life (didn't he?) and Pippin saved Faramir's.

keep on guessing
 

Sorry, but no.

A WAG: Beregond?
 

A was the first of his kind B saw?

how right you are, Nilp.
 

Precisely. :) There are several instances of men/ents seeing hobbits for the first time, but it was Beregond I was looking for. :)

Congrats. I thought that was going to be much harder.

My WAG worked?
 

Thank you, Sophia. :)

OK, here goes (it will be a bit of a stretch):

Mîm is to Andróg

as

______________ is to Gollum.

Hmmm, maybe Faramir? Because Mîm cursed Androg and Faramir cursed Gollum("may death find you swiftly, if you do not serve him (Frodo) well") -- and both came true.

Y'know what?
 

I forgot all about this thread, and my question.

In light of that, and Evisse's convincing answer, she gets the thread.

Your turn. ;)

Thanks :)
 

The White Tree is to Aragorn

as
__________ is to Finrod.

Guesses, my love.
 

The White Tree was the symbol of Aragorn's Kingship

as

The Nauglamir was of Finrod's?

*hopeful*

Not yet. unfortunately :(
 

On the plus side, you're quite close with the 'symbol' thing. :)

The Ring of Felagund?
 

The White Tree is the symbol of the Edain's friendship with the Eldar (I think).

The Ring of Felagund (not Barahir :p ) is the smybol of Finrod's frienship with Barahir and all his kin.

Nope, sorry, not that either...

I think I may have it
 

The White Tree was the device on Aragorn's banner

as

A harp and quiver were the devices on Finrod's?

Yes, that's it! Well done!

Aha
 

Kili is to Thorin

as

Bilbo is to ___________

Bullroarer (Bandobras) Took, perhaps. That's probably not how you spell it, but... ...

I say this because Killi was a relation to Thorin on his mother’s side, the same way Bilbo was related to Bullroarer Took on his Mother's side.

Nope, but interesting point with the relationship... :cool:

Isengrim Baggins?
 

A's mother was B's sister?

Silly Nilp
 

:p I'm assuming you meant Isengrim Took, since that is the right answer.

I'd have taken any of the Old Took's children (except obviously Belladonna) for this answer, although I only was thinking of Donnamira and Mirabella when I wrote the question.

Silly of me to forget that Ole Gerontius had 13 children.

Your go, Mr. Felagund.

"Silly" is correct.
 

I will claim to end of my days--I'm an Elda, vy ze vay--that it was a TYPO!!! :rolleyes: :D

Sure. Right. Like we'd believe that.

Enedwaith:

Gondolin is to Finwë

as

__________ is to Orodreth.

The usual skewed relation.

*chirp chirp chirp*
 

Anyone?

The Forest of Brethil?

(Turgon, Finwe's heir, died in Gondolin, while Finduilas, Orodreth's only child and heir died near the forest of Brethil.)

Hopefully I got it right, this one's a toughie! :D

I could be evil . . .
 

. . . but maybe not today.

I'll accept Forest of Brethil, as it's close enough to the answer I want.

Gondolin was where Fingolfin, Finwë's child, was buried.

Haudh-en-Elleth was where Finduilas, Orodreth's child, was buried.

Wait. Now that think of it, technically, Fingolfin was buried outside Gondolin.

Ha. Whatever. Your turn, Evisse! :)

Ok, can we also do this with events?
If we can't - you'll let me know and I'll change it. :)

The Paths of the Dead is to Gimli

like
________________ is to Frodo.

*chuckles*

Cirith Ungol, in both places the person was not terribly happy about being underground/in tunnels.

:p Not an event though, so likely not right.

*cough*

Actually I must have been high on something when I wrote that, because neither the first nor the second are events. Both are places, but Cirith Ungol is not the one.

Is the Dead Marshes the answer?

Nope, keep trying.
Hint: Think its effect on the character.

No, certainly not...
 

That wouldn't happen to be the Barrow-downs, would it?

Nope, it isn't. Actually, one might say it's quite the opposite of that. This answer would work in a 'reversed verbal reasoning'. I hope I gave a hint. ;)

Mount Doom Perhaps? Both of these places changed the characters in some way. I.e. Gimli submission to fear and Frodo's submission to the ring.

Yes, that's it. And that's also the reason. Well done, thread is yours! :)

Thank'ee Evisse.

Try this one;

Frodo is to The Old Forest

As

Aragorn is to _________
Good luck all.
