I'm going to leave BD for this night and so that you don't need to lose your night's sleep pondering this (
 ), I'll give you the right answer as you're so close anyway.To Dori, Bilbo is something he dropped in Moria. To Gollum, the Ring is something he dropped in Moria.  Legate can have the thread as he was the one to guess Gollum and to mention Moria (even though very vaguely).

What?
 Moria is a bit further south the last time I looked on the map of M-e...?!?! Though I must agree that Legate should go next.

To Lommy: You did well to go to bed, your wits were getting sleepy!
 Okay, let's ask something. Thrór is to Nár as ______ is to Elrond

 The thing I had in mind was rather "in the goblin passages under the Misty Mountains" but somehow I managed to mix Moria with it when writing that post... *wonders what will happen in the trivia match*

A couple of thoughts...
Could Nar be considered Thror's herald, although the Dwarves did not have quite the same titles as the Elves? If so, then the answer is Gil-Galad since Elrond was his herald.
The other angle is that Nar advised Thror against going to Moria, and yet Thror proceeded and it cost him his life. Likewise, Elrond advised Isildur to destroy the ring, and yet he did not and it later cost him his life. In this case, the answer would be Isildur. |

Good thoughts, but no, not what I had in mind. I'm not quite sure what was Nár's position - he was just a companion as far as I know. And the Isildur answer also is not what I had in mind.

Maybe Arwen, because she did something against Elrond's advice just like Thror with Nar.
