Nope... *mysterious smile like the MonaLisa*

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-11-2003, 06:42 PM

Is it Amandil, as the only one never to have ruled over Gondor, or to have set foot on ME?

... or do I get a:

Sorry my friend... keep trying!

Sophia

Gil-Galad · 04-11-2003, 08:19 PM

Elendil becasue he as a major elf-friend

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-11-2003, 10:10 PM

Still no...

is it time for a hint? Some of these names may have been borne by more than one person...

*Sophia sulks in the corner*

elven maiden Earwen · 04-16-2003, 06:18 PM

Anarion is a person and place

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-16-2003, 06:19 PM

Nope, and I think you're confusing Anarion and Anorien [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

elven maiden Earwen · 04-16-2003, 06:20 PM

oopps my bad. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

alaklondewen · 04-17-2003, 10:55 AM

Eldarion is the only one who doesn't have two people with that name. Each of the other names is a Numenorian King and either a King of Gondor or in Amandil's case the Lord of Andúnië.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-17-2003, 04:25 PM

After hard thought I've decided that Alaklondewen is right. I was looking for the fact that Eldarion was the only one that was not the ruling name of a King of Numenor. But since Alak did mention that specifically in her answer she's right [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia

alaklondewen · 04-17-2003, 09:46 PM

Thank you, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I believe this will probably be an easy one...

Ori
Balin
Gloin
Nali
Oin

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-17-2003, 10:58 PM

Nali wasn't one of the Dwarves that went on Thorin & Bilbo's quest

Sophia

alaklondewen · 04-18-2003, 08:38 AM

You're right that he didn't, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Lyra Greenleaf · 04-20-2003, 03:13 PM

You made Nali up? Sorry, I'm only joking but I can't find anything and it's frustrating!

Erm, Nali is the only one not related to Gimli?

alaklondewen · 04-20-2003, 06:14 PM

Nope, and Náli is a real Dwarf (in Tolkien's mind anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Tar-Palantir · 04-21-2003, 11:11 AM

Nali was not from Erebor? Or was not of Durin's line?

alaklondewen · 04-21-2003, 11:16 AM

Nope. Hint: Náli is NOT the answer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad · 04-21-2003, 03:49 PM

Balin was the last one of his kind to retake Khazad-Dum?

alaklondewen · 04-21-2003, 07:36 PM

You are extremely close, Gil-galad. Now think, they all have something in common, except...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-21-2003, 07:38 PM

Gloin wasn't part of Balin's Khazad-dum retaking team [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Nali is mentioned in the book of Mazarbul as being killed at Moria, I believe.

alaklondewen · 04-21-2003, 07:42 PM

Yes! Sophia, I just did a Snoopy dance for you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Please, continue.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-26-2003, 01:32 PM

it's been a few days, but here goes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lenwe
Olwe
Earwen
Indis
Denethor
Cirdan

Lindolirian · 04-27-2003, 03:56 PM

Lenwë was the only one who never crossed the Blue Mountains and entered Beleriand.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 04:05 PM

Nope nope [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia

Annunfuiniel · 04-27-2003, 04:47 PM

All the others were Teleri-elves whereas Indis was of the Vanyar.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 04-27-2003, 07:11 PM

Bingo [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go Annun...

Lindolirian · 05-07-2003, 05:59 PM

It's been ten days...
Aragorn
Aghan
Luthien
Frodo
Elrond

Arwen Imladris · 05-08-2003, 02:30 PM

Aghan because he is the only one who I haven't heard of before? The only one that isn't mentioned in the Lord of the Rings?

Lindolirian · 05-08-2003, 02:35 PM

Well I wasn't looking for what people had heard of or not, so no, that's not it.

Arwen Imladris · 05-08-2003, 02:36 PM

Luthien because she is the only girl?

Lalaith · 05-08-2003, 03:49 PM

Elrond is the only one who has immortality?

Lindolirian · 05-08-2003, 04:26 PM

It's a bit more in depth than that.

Faenaduial · 05-09-2003, 12:13 PM

Aghan - Only charachter not mentioned in LoTR. He's in the Unfinished Tales - The Faithful Stone.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-09-2003, 05:42 PM

Frodo is the odd one out as he is the only one who is not recorded as having healing skills or as having healing anybody.

Aragorn part-healed Frodo after the attack on Weathertop, and also healed Faramir, Merry and Eowyn in the Houses of Healing.

Aghan healed his brother, who had been wounded by Orcs.

Luthien healed Beren after his hand (plus Silmaril) was bitten off by Carcharoth.

Elrond no doubt healed many, Frodo not least among them.

Lalaith · 05-14-2003, 03:18 PM

*bump*
I want to know if Saucepan was right!
Lindolirian, where are you?

Lindolirian · 05-17-2003, 03:42 PM

Saucepan Man is correct. Sorry it took so long, I had lost my access to my computer.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-18-2003, 07:29 PM

OK, a nice easy one ...

Farmer Maggot
Frodo Baggins
Fredegar Bolger
Hamfast Gamgee
Meriadoc Brandybuck

Lindolirian · 05-18-2003, 07:36 PM

Hamfast has never crossed the Brandywine.
Gosh, that's gotta stink. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-18-2003, 08:10 PM

Nope.
