Eowyn fought in the War of the Ring?

Telchar · 12-27-2003, 11:04 AM

the others had something Eowyn didnt - at least its not recorded that she did

Finwe · 12-27-2003, 03:48 PM

Eowyn, because all the others had husbands who somehow came into contact with Bilbo Baggins.

Evisse the Blue · 12-27-2003, 05:19 PM

How about all the others had daughters?
EDIT: I mean children.

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]Thanks. Next up:

Frodo
Aragorn
Galadriel
Turin

Telchar · 12-30-2003, 06:58 AM

Galadriel wasnt brought up by foster parents?

Firefoot · 01-07-2004, 03:38 PM

Turin did not live in the third age?

Evisse the Blue · 01-09-2004, 08:53 AM

Nope, neither.

paavo · 01-10-2004, 10:56 AM

Turin, because he has never been in lothlorien?

Kath · 01-10-2004, 11:31 AM

Frodo cos he was not brought up by elves?

Heni · 01-11-2004, 12:48 PM

Frodo- He never ruled a place or a kingdom

Lindolirian · 01-11-2004, 04:14 PM

Prolly not it, but somehow it seems good to me. Galadriel didn't have a sword with a name or any sword for that matter. Heck, let's just make it real broad and say she never fought with a sword, in a battle, probably never punched anybody either...Right... get on with the guessing [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Estanesse · 01-11-2004, 05:29 PM

Frodo is not married

Firefoot · 01-11-2004, 07:50 PM

This probably isn't right, but Turin was the only one who killed himself.

Evisse the Blue · 01-12-2004, 12:51 AM

Nobody has it so far.
HINT: it's something that happened to all but the OMO.

Turin didn't have the chance to take the one ring

Finwe · 01-12-2004, 08:37 AM

Frodo was never married?

Lasgalen · 01-13-2004, 03:37 PM

Galadriel is the only one not separated from her mother at a young age?

Lindolirian · 01-13-2004, 04:37 PM

Galadriel was never stabbed.
Turin never wrestled with the will of Sauron.
Frodo was never in love.
Turin has never been to the Shire.

paavo · 01-15-2004, 02:20 PM

Aragorn because his race was the only one that did not vanish from Middle-earth

Anyway - it's none of these.

paavo · 01-18-2004, 02:31 PM

I can't come up with anything else. a hint would be appreciated [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Evisse the Blue · 01-19-2004, 03:40 AM

What do Gollum and Feanor have in common? (hint)

<font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:41 AM January 19, 2004: Message edited by: Evisse the Blue ]

Lalaith · 01-19-2004, 07:40 AM

Hmm..how about, all except Frodo were exiles.

Finwe · 01-19-2004, 08:18 AM

Aragorn was the only one who wasn't thrown out.

Frodo --> felt that he had to leave by the end of the Third Age because he just wasn't "normal" enough for the Shire

Galadriel --> Rebellion of the Noldor

Turin --> after "killing" Saeros, he went into self-imposed exile

Evisse the Blue · 01-20-2004, 07:26 AM

Nope, sorry.

Estanesse · 01-22-2004, 02:41 PM

They all killed a person, or are partly blamed for the death, of there own kind, except Frodo.

Evisse the Blue · 01-23-2004, 09:14 AM

Not that either.

Hint: remember the previous hints~

paavo · 02-10-2004, 10:49 AM

I have to admit this is a tough one!

but I don't want a fun quiz like this to die because no one knows the right answer, so could you give us yet another hint, please.

Evisse the Blue · 02-10-2004, 04:53 PM

You all 'll probably kill me when you find the answer.
Next hint:
This vile deed can be done (and was!) by hobbit ,man , dwarf.

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 02-10-2004, 09:16 PM

Vile deed that can be done by man, hobbit, dwarf. . .

They all chose what day they got to die except for Galadriel, who as an elf her fate was sealed to last for all of Middle Earth's span.

Aragorn lay down one day and died of his own power.
Frodo went to heaven to heal and die when he chose.
Turin killed himself.

Evisse the Blue · 02-11-2004, 03:07 AM

That was a very good reason for an OMO, much better than mine, I should say, but that's not it.

Remember, this vile deed was done to the OMO, and also remember Gollum, Feanor and someone else (*coughdwarfcough*)

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 02-11-2004, 09:18 AM

Frodo
Aragorn
Galadriel
Turin

Frodo was the only one of the four who had ever been whipped (as far as any of us know). Gollum had been given a sound lashing or two (or 100), Feanor died by the whips of the 'Rogs, the dwarf in question, would be Thror, whipped in the dungeons of Sauron.

Evisse the Blue · 02-11-2004, 01:33 PM

Nope. And it's not that Gollum, Feanor and the dwarf (who is not Thorin) shared something in common with the OMO categories. There were just involved in the thing that happened to all but the OMO. Very involved.
There. This should give away the answer nicely.

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 02-11-2004, 05:02 PM

Well, Aragorn was never betrayed by a person who he thought was his ally . . . not personally anyway. Gollum totally betrayed Frodo's trust, Feanor turned his back on Galadriel and her kin on the way to retake the Silmarils, and Turin was betrayed by Mim the Petty Dwarf. Galadriel and her brother and kinfolk went after Feanor to avenge themselves . . . Turin paid back the Petty Dwarf, and Frodo had faced off with Gollum on Mt. Doom. Ill omens and doom had something to do with each betrayal (Mt. Doom, Doom of Mandos, Glaurung's Curse).

If the answer isn't somewhere in that jumble of linked pieces of information, I give up.

Evisse the Blue · 02-12-2004, 12:43 AM

No need for that _ the answer was in the first part, namely the betrayal issue.

Take it away!: )

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 02-12-2004, 12:36 PM

Okay then, let's see . . .

Eomer
Samwise
Aragorn
Turin

Have fun . . .

Finwe · 02-12-2004, 08:44 PM

Turin, because he was the only one without a happy marriage and children

Evisse the Blue · 02-13-2004, 07:46 AM

Samwise was the only one whose sword did not have a name?
