Both their daughters were quite wilful - they made their own decisions, etc...?

Finwe · 01-29-2004, 11:30 AM

Ruitha has it!

Your go.

Ruitha · 01-30-2004, 10:54 AM

Okay ... Finduilas, of Dol Amroth, and Aredhel.

Gil-Galad · 01-30-2004, 05:13 PM

Both married a lord of Gondor?

Ruitha · 01-31-2004, 06:28 AM

No...

Gil-Galad · 01-31-2004, 11:08 AM

Both had elvish blood in them?
Both were decendents from lords of Dol Amroth?

01-31-2004, 01:25 PM

Legolas rode a horse from Rohan.

Ruitha · 01-31-2004, 02:26 PM

No ... I'm thinking of Aredhel as in a Noldo who lived in the First Age, the sister of Fingon and Turgon, Gil-galad. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Finwe · 01-31-2004, 06:27 PM

They both married bold, masterful men, and were eventually (directly or indirectly) killed by them.

Aredhel --> the poisoned dart flung by Eol
Finduilas --> when darkness began to "contaminate" Denethor, she sensed it, and began to "fade."

Ruitha · 02-01-2004, 10:39 AM

Close, but not quite what I'm looking for...

Finwe · 02-02-2004, 06:13 PM

Both of their kids had weird relationships with their fathers?

Ruitha · 02-03-2004, 11:13 AM

*laughs*
Okay, you're basically there. You just need to be slightly more specific. Stay with the father/son thing.

Finwe · 02-03-2004, 07:30 PM

Both had husbands who disdained/hated their sons, and directly or indirectly tried to kill them?

Ruitha · 02-04-2004, 02:37 PM

Okay, you got it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn!

Finwe · 02-04-2004, 09:04 PM

Ingwë and Imrahil

Thorongil · 02-05-2004, 03:48 AM

Both were leading a small part of a greater army to battle?

Evisse the Blue · 02-05-2004, 06:34 AM

Their daughters married someone not from their house?

Gil-Galad · 02-05-2004, 04:34 PM

They both took realms by the sea, or had things to do with swans (eg: swan knights of Dol Amroth and Swan ships of Aqualonde)

Finwe · 02-05-2004, 09:32 PM

Nope.

Miriel · 02-15-2004, 07:17 AM

May we have a hint, please, Finwe?

Finwe · 02-15-2004, 08:48 AM

HINT: It has to do with their siblings.

Thorongil · 02-26-2004, 04:50 AM

*bump* This game is too much fun to die! I'm clueless, but someone must know the answer.

Finwe · 02-26-2004, 11:27 AM

Ok... I'll give you guys another hint...

HINT: Look what their sisters did.

Arvedui III · 02-26-2004, 12:37 PM

Herm...no clue, time to guess. Both their sisters bore two sons? Faramir and Boromir for Finduilas and Fingolfin and Finarfin for Indis.

Thorongil · 03-10-2004, 03:18 PM

Since Finwe hasn't checked in in over ten days, I'll steal the thread

What is the connection between

Gimli and Feanor

Firefoot · 03-10-2004, 05:10 PM

Didn't both ask Galadriel for some of her hair?

symestreem · 03-10-2004, 06:53 PM

Going out on a limb here... both loved Galadriel? I think I remember reading that Feanor loved Galadriel, but she didn't love him.

Thorongil · 03-11-2004, 12:08 AM

Firefoot got it! You're next.

Finwe · 03-11-2004, 11:32 AM

Oh dear... I completely forgot about this thread... Anyway... in hindsight, the answer to mine was:

Both of their sisters had husbands who died untimely deaths.

Firefoot · 03-11-2004, 02:52 PM

Okay, thanks, Thorongil!

Gollum and Balin.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-11-2004, 11:26 PM

Both of them went looking for Rings of Power?

Firefoot · 03-12-2004, 02:33 PM

Not what I'm looking for.

The Perky Ent · 03-12-2004, 05:37 PM

They both lived in the Misty Mountains for a time? Gollum in his cave and Balin in Moria?

Firefoot · 03-12-2004, 06:53 PM

Nope.

The Perky Ent · 03-12-2004, 07:10 PM

They both died in a place full of fire? Gollum died at Mount Doom, which is very fiery, and Balin died in Moria, which has a balrog...which is also fiery!

Fingolfin II · 03-13-2004, 04:04 AM

They both went to Moria?

Firefoot · 03-13-2004, 07:48 AM

Neither.

The Perky Ent · 03-13-2004, 08:45 AM

They both met Bilbo Baggins?

Firefoot · 03-13-2004, 10:12 AM

No.

The Perky Ent · 03-13-2004, 10:17 AM

They were both around the one ring for a while?
