Haldad -> Ladros

Anardil · 08-22-2002, 01:27 PM

Please forgive me if I'm ignorant, but I thought Ladros was the name of a place: the land in the northeastern part of Dorthonion where Boromir and his successors Bregor and Bregolas had their realm.

Anyway, for all it's worth, here is what I think is a link between Haldad and Boromir

Haldad -> Haleth -> Caranthir -> Angrod -> Boromir (or any other Lord of Ladros)

Anardil · 08-22-2002, 01:31 PM

Joy · 08-22-2002, 10:26 PM

Not quite, Ladros was a person. But you have a pretty good start so far. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 09-03-2002, 07:30 PM

Are you sure? This is the only definition I've found on Ladros:
A highland region to the northeast of Dorthonion. It was held briefly as a fief by the House of Bëor, but lost to Morgoth in the Dagor Bragollach.

The region of Ladros seems originally to have been a fief of Finrod Felagund (at least, his brothers Angrod and Aegnor held 'the northern slopes of Dorthonion', according to Quenta Silmarillion 14, Of Beleriand and its Realms). Finrod later assigned this land to Boromir of the House of Bëor, whose members had long been loyal in his service2.

Of the House of Bëor, there were three lords of Ladros - Boromir himself, his son Bregor, and Bregor's son Barahir. In Barahir's time, Morgoth overwhelmed Dorthonion and Ladros in the Dagor Bragollach: Barahir and twelve faithful men, including his son Beren, became outlaws in their own land, assaulting Morgoth's forces from their hidden lair at Tarn Aeluin on Ladros' southern borders. They were betrayed by Gorlim the Unhappy, and all were slain but Beren, who escaped into the south. After this time, Ladros fell under the yoke of Morgoth until it was swallowed by the Great Sea at the end of the First Age.

Lindolirian · 09-24-2002, 08:25 PM

Ok I'd say Anardil got it, unless Joy knows something nobody else knows. Any how this is too good of a thread to let die like this.

merlilot · 09-26-2002, 02:55 PM

Wow, this looks fun...but I would be obliged if the next one either stuck to the more prominent characters in the Sil, or anything in LOTR/Hobbit. Or any Hobbits at all. I haven't got my own copy of the Sil, so I don't have it functionally memorized like I do LOTR and Hobbit.
Thanks.

Joy · 09-27-2002, 06:15 PM

Okay, I will give it to Anardil, though I found it in the Sil. He was mentioned once, in one brief sentence. I will have to find it, though I don't have my copy of the Sil anywhere near me.

Lindolirian · 11-13-2002, 08:13 PM

Well, this thread is just too cool for me to let die like this, so here I go.

Erestor --> Voronwë

Joy · 11-21-2002, 12:57 AM

Erestor - Voronwë

Erestor -> Elrond -> Eärendil -> Tour -> Ulmo -> Voronwë

other Voronwë

Erestor -> Elrond -> Glorfindel -> Eärnur -> Mardil Voronwë

Lindolirian · 11-21-2002, 08:01 PM

The first one is correct. Good job!

Joy · 11-29-2002, 03:24 AM

Thanks, I wasn't sure which one you wanted.

Luthien -> Beregrond

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 12:34 PM

Luthien -> Thingol -> Celeborn -> Pippin -> Beregond

Joy · 11-29-2002, 12:40 PM

Yes, your go! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 12:43 PM

Elenwë -> Belegund

Joy · 11-29-2002, 12:52 PM

Elenwë -> Turgon -> Tuor -> Rian -> Belegund

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 12:53 PM

Yes!!!

Joy · 11-29-2002, 01:11 PM

Sador -> Idril

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 04:19 PM

Sador -> Hurin -> Huor -> Tuor -> Idril

Joy · 11-29-2002, 06:39 PM

That is correct Lindo. Though there is a closer connection than that.

Sador -> Hurin -> Turgon -> Idril

Hurin and Huor both served Turgon and was brought to his Kingdom by Thronodor the Eagle when they were children.

Lindolirian · 11-29-2002, 06:42 PM

Right...

I knew that.

the Chief of the Lossoth -> Cirdan

Lindolirian · 12-12-2002, 05:50 PM

Perhaps it is too hard?
Hint: the Lossoth are the Snow-men who live near the Ice Bay of Forochel, I believe.

Lindolirian · 12-16-2002, 08:41 PM

Perhaps it is way too hard??

C'mon people, I know you've heard of the Lossoth (aka Snow-men) before!

Flittermouse · 12-26-2002, 06:41 PM

Cheif of the Lossoth --> Arvedui --> Aranarth --> Cirdan

It looked hard, but when I looked where I knew I had seen something about arvedui, it was all on one page in the App. A of the RotK.

Lindolirian · 12-26-2002, 06:48 PM

Hurrah!!! Now for Flittermouse!!!

Flittermouse · 12-27-2002, 11:48 AM

Cool.
Beor --> Glaurung

Beren87 · 12-27-2002, 02:13 PM

Beor-Elwe-Turin-Glaurung

Beor led his people to Beleriand, where he (it is assumed) got permission to settle from Elwe, who helped Turin, who slew Glaurung.

Flittermouse · 12-27-2002, 03:32 PM

I don't want to go with assumed stuff. Just add one more person in to make it for sure.

Beren87 · 12-27-2002, 03:54 PM

Beor-Finrod-Turgon-Turin-Glaurung

That one makes more sense, Beor served Finrod, who was friends with Turgon, whom Turin came to when he came to Gondolin,and Turin slew Glaurung!

[ December 27, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

Lindolirian · 12-27-2002, 05:02 PM

But Turin never went to Gondolin. I think it is:

Beor-> Finrod-> Beren-> Thingol-> Turin -> Glaurung

Beren87 · 12-27-2002, 05:08 PM

Egad, was thinking of Hurin! *sigh* I conceade defeat.

Flittermouse · 12-27-2002, 05:12 PM

Too bad Beren, you were really close, but then Quiz Master Lindo had to come and ruin it for ya

Lindolirian · 12-27-2002, 06:33 PM

Oops.. heh heh. I just couldn't help myself.

Pimpernel Took-> Maglor

Bruce MacCulloch · 12-29-2002, 12:01 AM

Pimpernel -> Pippin -> Galadriel -> Maglor
Alternatively: Pimpernel -> Pippin -> Elrond -> Maglor

Lindolirian · 12-29-2002, 10:21 AM

That is correct, Bruce.
