Actually I meant the flower elanor itself, but it's close enough, so...

Your turn!

Fingon is to Maedhros

as

______ is to Beren.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-13-2007, 04:56 AM

Carcharoth?

A funny idea, really!

You're right of course.

I thought that maybe I should have written "Fingon is to Fëanor as ______ is to Barahir" but I thought it might have been a bit too difficult (but now I'm not so sure anymore...

)

Wow, no, it could have been even better! You can try something like it next time

Anyway... hmm... *scratches head*

Bilbo is to Thorin

as

_______ is to Saruman

Bilbo betrayed Thorin by stealing the Arkenstone, while Grima betrayed Saruman by stabbing him and by giving information to the Nazgul
So maybe it's Grima

No, not what I had in mind.
