Maedhros --> Elrond --> Thorin --> Dain Ironfoot/Nain (either) --> Dain I --> Thror

As for the earlier rules clarifications, I believe also that we were supposed to avoid using Gandalf and Sauron.

I can't remember if Elrond applies, too. If he does, then my answer is invalid (assuming I otherwise had the right answer) and the puzzle can remain open.

You are correct, Andsigil!

Sorry, I forgot about that one. It's Gandalf, Sauron and Saruman you're supposed to avoid.

Radagast>Mouth of Sauron

Then here's another solution without any of them:
Radagast--Eagles--Bilbo--Frodo--Pippin--Mouth of Sauron

Either way, it's Andsigil's turn now.

Mouth of Sauron --> Nimrodel

Galadriel55 · 11-15-2010, 05:30 PM

Mouth of Sauron--Legolas--Galadriel (quite possible to use another Elf here)--Nimrodel

Galadriel could be excluded if Legolas' song about Nimrodel counts as a connection, which I doubt.

Your turn.

Galadriel55 · 11-15-2010, 08:58 PM

This is an easy one, but I can't think of anything better for the moment.
Mauhur--->Deagol

Mauhur -> Grishnakh -> Pippin -> Sam -> Smeagol -> Deagol
