Samwise · 09-12-2002, 07:34 PM

I don't think anyone's done something like this before, so:
Here, the poster gives the name of an LOTR character. To answer, give the names of three people that person was related to and how. Ex:

Bilbo Baggins

Bungo Baggins=Father

Belladonna Took=Mother

Frodo Baggins=Cousin

Anyone like to start? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Naurlothwen · 09-13-2002, 08:06 PM

okay how about starting easy then getting harder??????

so erm easy would be...

Arwen Evenstar
1)
2)
3)
?
-------------------------
this is how you do it rite?

Samwise · 09-13-2002, 09:10 PM

Yep, that's what I was thinking, but what you call easy might not be easy for others- [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I can't get yours without looking, (LOTR novice who's not into elves) but perhaps someone else can...?

Nerdanel · 09-13-2002, 10:12 PM

Arwen Evenstar

1)Elrond Halfelven - Father
2)Elladan - brother
3)Elrohir - brother
4)Celebrian - mother

Samwise · 09-13-2002, 10:20 PM

I knew someone out there would know it....
Naurlothwen, since it was your question, is that right?

Nerdanel · 09-13-2002, 10:55 PM

Ok, if I was wrong, disregard this question. But just in case:

Galadriel

Galadriel

1. Finarfin & Earwen - Parents
2. Celebrian - Daughter

elengil · 09-17-2002, 09:20 PM

now now now, Pippin and Merry were related, therefore Pippin's relations *are* Merry's relations.. tricky what? Though I admit that the particulars of *how* they're related are wrong in the above posts....

Okay, Joy. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Want to post someone and their relations for us to figure out how they're related?
(that didn't come out right....) [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Joy · 09-20-2002, 02:18 PM

Nienel

1. Morwen
2. Tùrin
3. Tuor
4. Rian

How are these people related to Nienel?

Morgoth Bauglir · 09-20-2002, 04:20 PM

morwen is her mother, turin is her brother, tuor is her cousin, and rian is her aunt?

Joy · 09-20-2002, 05:29 PM

Thank you!

2. Finrod Felegund
3. Celebrían
4. Fingolfin

Glorfinniel the Lost · 09-21-2002, 11:31 PM

Let's see:

Orodreth:Father
Finrod Felegund:Uncle
Celebrían:Cousin
Fingolfin:Second Grandfather? Since Finarfin, her Granfather was Fingolfin's brother?

Joy · 09-22-2002, 04:11 PM

Glorfinel, correct. You got the relations right, but Fingolfin would be called her Great-Uncle.

merlilot · 09-24-2002, 03:25 PM

Hmm, this looks fun, so I am gonna revive it.

And your person is...

Fingolfin!

Not as hard as it seems, coming up with 6...

(Bonus points if you include my favourite elf!)

Hmmm, Fingolfin.
1 Fingon------Son
2 Turgon------Son

4 Finarfin----Brother
5 Indis-------Mother
6 Elrond and Elros------Great-great grandsons

Frodo Baggins · 11-20-2002, 12:39 PM

All right, I have one

Theoden king of Rohan

1.
2.
3.
4.
(?).

Orual · 11-20-2002, 10:25 PM

1) Thengel-father
2) Theodred-son
3) Eowyn-neice
4) Eomer-nephew

Am I right?

Frodo Baggins · 11-21-2002, 03:13 PM

Yes ORual, you are.

Orual · 11-21-2002, 08:08 PM

Wait, am I out of turn? Is it Isilya's turn? Either way, I forfeit my turn because I can't think of a good question.

~*~Orual~*~

Diamond18 · 11-22-2002, 11:38 AM

No, it was your turn Orual. So since you've forfeited I'll take it.

Peregrin Took

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

I hope Pippin hasn't already been done. I've read through this whole thread, but that was a while ago. In any case, there are at least 8 close relatives that can be listed for him.

(If someone gives a correct answer, but not the 8 I was thinking of, do I accept that or hold out for the "what was I thinking of" answer?)

Orual · 11-22-2002, 04:25 PM

Oh, LoL, I didn't read any dates. ::blushes:: Stupid me.

Let me try...

1) Paladin II (father)
2) Eglantine Banks (mother)
3) Pearl (sister)
4) Pimpernel (brother)
5) Pervinca (sister)
6) Esmeralda (aunt)
7) Saradoc Brandybuck (uncle)
8) And, naturally, Meriadoc Brandybuck! (1st cousin)

~*~Orual~*~

(Note: in my edition, it says "Esmeralds," for Pippin's aunt, but I'm guessing it's just a typo.)

[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Orual ]

Diamond18 · 11-23-2002, 05:35 PM

That's right, except that Pimpernel was his sister, and I was thinking of his son Faramir instead of his uncle Saradoc (or was it his aunt I wasn't thinking of, gah...I forgot. One of those). Anyway, that was close enough! Your turn.

[ November 23, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

Orual · 11-23-2002, 10:05 PM

Whoops! Good thing I wasn't trying that to Pimpernel's face. ^_^ C'mon, it was hard to tell! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Let's see...let's try
