Well, if I recall correctly, the Dwarven mines were in the north of the mountains, I'd have to check it but I believe there is not explicitely said where, but it looks like it was somewhere on the edge of the mountains of Angmar or something like that... so actually, also part of the Misty Mountains.

No...the mines were still in the Blue Mountains, and afterwards he lived on the shore of the Icebay of Forochel.

The Might, you're right, but for the question note that I said Hithaeglir instead of Misty Mountains...

Okay, I looked it up, and it says:
Quote:
Also, there is some strange sort of mountains or hills depicted on the LotR map just west of the mountains of Angmar, and since it seems unlikely that the King will on his flight willingly get near the enemy's capitol of Carn Dum, the Dwarven mines could as well be there. EDIT: Cross-posted. Hmm... ![]()

I would not have thought he would get even that close... and I assumed it was the Mountains of Ered Luin, but now you've left me wondering if that's true. Ered Luin was what I was looking for anyway, the Sindarin name of the mountains that I thought Arvedui hid under, but since I may be wrong, it was a poor question!
Legate, I will say you got it because you first mentioned the old dwarf mines. ![]()

Well, this is sort of troubling, since if you were looking for Ered Luin, then I'd say Miggy got it. But... probably if we don't know for sure where the mines were, and if you don't want to use your right as the riddle-poster to say "for MY riddle, THIS answer is correct", then... ah, whatever, let the thread move - it will surely swap between us more times, so...
Isildur is to Gil-Galad as Túrin is to _______

Ah, yes, sorry if I was a little unfair, Miggy, wasn't intended.
![]() I would say Turgon, because he was the reigning High King of the Noldor during Turin's lifetime, just as Gil-Galad was the High King of the Noldor for the most part of Isildur's lifetime.

Beregond: Fine, but it's not that general (many people lived at the same time - this works both ways, it is more personal).
Mig: Good idea, you did well to bring Sauron between them, though it's not what I was looking for. It's personal - so it relates to the people who really were in contact.

maybe Finwe
Isildur killed Sauron and so avenged Gil-galad It has been prophesized that Turin would kill Melkor, and would thus avenge Finwe Why I picked him is because both he and Gil-galad were High Kings of the Noldor
