Éowyn?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-06-2004, 09:51 PM

No.

12-06-2004, 11:24 PM

Théoden

Fingolfin II · 12-07-2004, 12:34 AM

Éomer? Both mistrusted the former?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-07-2004, 09:06 PM

Fin2, the thread is yours!

(There, I changed your nick!

)

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-09-2004, 11:22 PM

Fin2?

Fingolfin II · 12-10-2004, 05:15 AM

That's twice I've had to be bumped! How embarassing

!

William is to Bilbo as

Bilbo is to ______.

Evisse the Blue · 12-10-2004, 10:56 AM

The Sackville Bagginses maybe? Cause Bilbo tried to steal from William and the Sackville Bagginses tried to steal from Bilbo.

Fingolfin II · 12-10-2004, 07:27 PM

Yep.

Evisse the Blue · 12-11-2004, 09:11 AM

Merry and Pippin were to Treebeard as

______________ was to Men

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-11-2004, 09:39 AM

The Eldar? Treebeard didn't know of the hobbits' existence, as the Edain were not aware of the Eldar.

Evisse the Blue · 12-11-2004, 10:14 AM

Close, but your answer does not fit the form of the verb: 'was'

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-12-2004, 07:53 AM

Hows about Felagund (Nom)?

Evisse the Blue · 12-12-2004, 01:26 PM

Correct!

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-12-2004, 08:12 PM

This one shouldn't be too hard...

Fimbrethil is to Treebread as

_____________ is to Sauron

Fingolfin II · 12-12-2004, 08:28 PM

The One Ring? Both are 'lost' and they're hoping to find them?

luthien-elvenprincess · 12-13-2004, 08:10 AM

yup, I knew it wouldn't take much puzzling over that one!

Fingolfin II · 12-13-2004, 07:23 PM

Cheers,

Theoden is to Eomer as

Helm is to ______________.

Another easy one.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-13-2004, 09:07 PM

A gave the throne to sister-son B.

Fingolfin II · 12-13-2004, 09:42 PM

The son of Finrod has it!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2005, 09:50 PM

Thingol is to Morwen

as

______________ is to Gilraën.

Quite easy, I believe.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2005, 07:41 PM

No guesses?

This is really easy, albeit the core relation is somewhat deflected.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-05-2005, 08:28 PM

Elrond?

In both cases, the former offered sanctuary to the latter's son within their realm.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2005, 09:12 PM

I mean, what's with Elves and vaguely Elf-like mothers?

Take the thread!

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-06-2005, 03:24 AM

Thanks.

Thread taken.

Sam is to Frodo

as

______ is to Bilbo

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-06-2005, 08:38 AM

The Gaffer because he was Bilbo's gardener as Sam was Frodo's gardener.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-06-2005, 09:29 AM

Good answer. I knew that there would be a few connections. But that is not the one that I am thinking of. Sorry.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress · 01-12-2005, 11:20 PM

Perhaps Frodo?

Sam was Frodo's heir as Frodo was Bilbo's?

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-13-2005, 03:36 AM

Sophia! How wonderful to see you here. Welcome back.

But I am afraid that is not the answer that I had in mind.

Hint: Think of Mount Doom ...

Evisse the Blue · 01-13-2005, 06:58 AM

Dori?

Sam carried Frodo, Dori carried Bilbo.

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-13-2005, 07:28 AM

Spot on, Evisse. Well done.

The thread is yours.

Evisse the Blue · 01-13-2005, 01:27 PM

Thanks!

Boromir was to Aragorn
as
Aragorn was to _______.

Firefoot · 01-13-2005, 02:49 PM

Gandalf? Boromir (kind of) looked to Aragorn for leadership, and Aragorn looked to Gandalf for leadership?

Celebriel Esgaledhel · 01-13-2005, 06:14 PM

Elrond? Boromir was, in a way, under the command of Aragorn, and when Aragorn was growing up, he was under the care of Elrond.

Evisse the Blue · 01-14-2005, 02:25 AM

Nope neither. The answer is one which may seem odd, but true from a certain perspective. A good strategy for this is to think of circumstances, not persons....

Firefoot · 01-14-2005, 06:11 AM

Arwen? Boromir died in Aragorn's company and Aragorn died in Arwen's?

Evisse the Blue · 01-14-2005, 12:37 PM

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind.

Your thread.

Firefoot · 01-14-2005, 01:26 PM

Thanks.

Frodo is to Strider

as

Sam is to _________.

Mad Baggins · 01-15-2005, 09:55 AM

Frodo?

Frodo was protected by Strider as Sam protected Frodo?

Firefoot · 01-15-2005, 10:35 AM

Nope.
