Another Thing In Common

[Cirdan the Shipwright]

I like this thread! I have a killer question that I couldn't wait on, so I'm starting another one.

What do they have in common?

Gandalf
Wormtongue
Gollum
The Balrog of Moria
Glorfindel

Hint - it's something each one did

- Cirdan/Maglor68

[Turambar]

Fell to his death?

[Cirdan the Shipwright]

Nope - Wormtongue was shot with arrows.

- Cirdan / Maglor68

[Telchar]

Has it anything to do with transformation?

[Turambar]

Did each of them "kill" a Maia or Istari? (Gandalf and Moria Balrog, each other; Wormtongue-Saruman; Glorfindel-Gothmog; Gollum- Sauron????).

[Turambar]

Actually it wasn't Gothmog that Glorfindel slew, it was that other 'rog.

[Cirdan the Shipwright]

Yes - each one slew (or in the case of Gollum caused the death of) another Maiar.

Go Turambar.

[Turambar]

Good question, Cirdan.

Celegorm
Maeglin
Brandir
Eowyn

[Elrian]

They all desired someone they couldn't have
Celegorm: Luthian
Brandir: Nienor
Maeglin: Idril
Eowyn: Aragorn

[Turambar]

Yep you got it.
