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!

Kili is to Thorin

as

Bilbo is to ___________

Hookbill the Goomba · 02-19-2005, 04:48 AM

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.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 02-19-2005, 04:53 AM

Nope, but interesting point with the relationship...

A's mother was B's sister?

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.
