elven maiden Earwen · 05-06-2003, 08:51 PM

nope

Estanesse · 05-07-2003, 01:54 PM

All went on a journey with one other person

Beren with Luthien
Aragorn with Gandalf
Turgon with Finrod
Turin with Beleg
Merry with Pippen
Eormer with?? Don’t know, but he was a likeable person so I think he must had some friends who would enjoy camping with him [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 05-07-2003, 07:14 PM

nope

Lalaith · 05-08-2003, 02:33 PM

Has it got something to do with them all having killed someone or something? Orcs, perhaps?

Earendil Halfelven · 05-08-2003, 05:34 PM

Is it that they are all war veterans?

Beren-fought with the dwarves at Sarn Athrad.
Turin-he fought with a bunch of orcs I'm guessing.
Aragorn-Helm's Deep, Minas Tirith, in front of the black gate(would that be 2nd Battle of Dagorlad?)
Eomer-same as Aragorn.
Turgon-died at the battle at Gondolin.
Merry-2nd battle of Dagorlad with Aragorn
Pippen-Minas Tirith

elven maiden Earwen · 05-08-2003, 08:42 PM

nope and no [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-09-2003, 07:15 AM

Lawks! All I can think of is that they all lived in ME and they all fought with Orcs.

I think that it may be time for another hint ... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-09-2003, 10:59 PM

*shakes head in absolute and utter confusion* I'm with Saucepan...

elven maiden Earwen · 05-09-2003, 11:26 PM

nope
hint:
Beren
Turin
Aragorn
Eomer
Turgon
Merry
Pippen
Elros
Luthien
Amroth

Lalaith · 05-10-2003, 05:14 AM

*flounders helplessly*
Did they all go swimming?

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 05-10-2003, 10:21 AM

They all had hereditary authority over people?
Beren- would have been the leader of Barahir's people if any had been left
Turin- would have been Lord of Dor-Lomin
Aragorn- was King of Gondor and Arnor
Eomer- was King of Rohan
Turgon- was King of Gondolin and a prince of the Noldoli
Merry- was Master of Buckland
Pippin- was Thain of the Shire
Elros- was King of Numenor
Luthien- was the daughter of Thingol and barring exceptional circumstances (which happened) she probably should have inherited his kingdom... (ooh, it's a stretch...)
Amroth- was Lord of Lorien

*grimaces* that's messy. Best I can do.

Sophia

Estanesse · 05-10-2003, 11:11 AM

Maybe swimming is the answer or water.
Beren went over the sea when he died
Turin brother of Nienor who jumped in the water and died.
Aragorn came to the rescue with his ships
Eomer married a princes of dol amroth (dol amroth lay by the sea and they had a crest with a silver swan on it)
Turgon was ordered by Ulmo to make a armor and so
Merry and Pippen had a Ent drink and with made them grow
Elros went to Numenor over the sea by ship
Luthien came to reclaim Beren in Valinor so she could marry him
Amroth did go for a swim and was never seen again.

elven maiden Earwen · 05-10-2003, 01:17 PM

nope. This is fun. Actually Lindolirian was very close to the answer at one point. So keep quessing. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Earendil Halfelven · 05-13-2003, 09:16 PM

You have me stumped.

elven maiden Earwen · 05-13-2003, 09:19 PM

Lalaith was also very close at one point

Lalaith · 05-14-2003, 06:00 AM

Do they rename their swords?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-14-2003, 02:43 PM

nope

Gil-Galad · 05-16-2003, 06:34 AM

they all have royal heritage in them?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-16-2003, 05:27 PM

nope

Lindolirian · 05-17-2003, 03:32 PM

elven maiden Earwen, you have been noping for an entire month. Whaddya say you tell us and we let the game go on?

Estanesse · 05-17-2003, 06:33 PM

or give us a new hint

elven maiden Earwen · 05-18-2003, 03:57 PM

Hey Lindolirian you were the cloesest. It was that they all died. Or they all became mortal at one point with an exception of Turgon and died.

Lalaith · 05-18-2003, 05:34 PM

*splutters*

Lindolirian · 05-18-2003, 06:14 PM

That's a VERY broad subject for One Thing in Common.

Quote:

Or they all became mortal at one point with an exception of Turgon and died.

Then why did you include Turgon? This isn't Odd Man Out. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Is it my turn then?

Earendil Halfelven · 05-18-2003, 09:34 PM

Doh!

*Earendil smacks his palm against his forehead*

Of course! I can't believe I didn't guess that! What kind of a mortal am I?

elven maiden Earwen · 05-18-2003, 10:09 PM

ya its your go

Lindolirian · 05-19-2003, 08:28 PM

Aragorn
Barahir
Thingol

That's all that I can think of for now. If I find any others who fit the description I shall post them as hints if needed.

Lalaith · 05-20-2003, 04:11 AM

They all died. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That was a heavy-handed attempt at a joke, incidently. I'm actually stumped as to a real answer!

[ May 21, 2003: Message edited by: Lalaith ]

Lalaith · 05-23-2003, 05:02 AM

They were all given a famous piece of jewellery is really all I can come up with!
Aragorn was given the Elfstone.
Barahir was given the ring of Felagund.
Thingol was given the Silmaril.

I'm sure this is wrong.

Lindolirian · 05-23-2003, 08:42 AM

You were so close. Since I didn't give very many people, I'll give it to you. It was that they all received something from important that came from Valinor. According to the Unfinished Tales, the Elessar was taken to Valinor after the First Age and brought back by Olorin.

Lalaith · 05-25-2003, 11:53 AM

Thank you Lindolirian.
Unfortunately I'm going away for about ten days and I don't want to leave a question hanging...would someone else like my go?

Arestevana · 05-27-2003, 04:48 PM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'll take it, if that's okay. If someone has an objection, feel free to ignore this post.

Primula Brandybuck
Niniel Nienor
Arvedui
Earnil I

Too easy, I know, but I can't think of another. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2003, 06:41 AM

They all drowned.

Primula Brandybuck in a boating accident on the River Brandywine.

Niniel Nienor when she jumped into the Teiglin.

Arvedui swimmming out to the Gondorian boat coming to rescue him in the icy bay of Forochel.

Earnil I in a storm off the coast of Gondor after capturing Umbar.

Edit: To add explanations.

[ May 28, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

Arestevana · 05-28-2003, 02:02 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Correct! Drown they did [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2003, 04:48 PM

OK, what has this bunch got in common?

Aragorn
Boromir
Dori
Grishnakh
Samwise Gamgee

Lindolirian · 05-28-2003, 05:30 PM

They all carried a hobbit on their back.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2003, 07:04 PM

They did indeed (or under their arms, in the case of Grishnakh). Well done, Lindolirian. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 06-11-2003, 03:22 PM

My apologies for the tardy reply.

Erendis
Sauron
Ar-Gimilzôr
Tal-Elmar

Finwe · 06-16-2003, 11:51 AM

Could you clarify "Tal-Elmar" for me? I don't believe I have ever heard that before.

Arwen Imladris · 06-16-2003, 02:04 PM

They were all some sort of nobility?
Erendis was a noble lady of Númenor who became Queen to Tar-Aldarion, Sauron was a Maia and was in charge of all kinds of places at times, Ar-Gimilzôr was the twenty-third King of Númenor, the father of Tar-Palantir and grandfather of Ar-Pharazôn.

I also have no clue who Tal-Elmar is.

Perhaps they were all evil in some way? Sauron obviousy, Ar-Gimilzor was an enemy of the Faithful and the Elf-friends.
