Relatively speaking

[Samwise]

I don't think anyone's done something like this before, so:
Here, the poster gives the name of an LOTR character. To answer, give the names of three people that person was related to and how. Ex:

Bilbo Baggins

Bungo Baggins=Father

Belladonna Took=Mother

Frodo Baggins=Cousin

Anyone like to start? smilies/wink.gif

[Naurlothwen]

okay how about starting easy then getting harder??????

so erm easy would be...

Arwen Evenstar
1)
2)
3)
?
-------------------------
this is how you do it rite?

[Samwise]

Yep, that's what I was thinking, but what you call easy might not be easy for others- smilies/biggrin.gif
I can't get yours without looking, (LOTR novice who's not into elves) but perhaps someone else can...?

[Nerdanel]

Arwen Evenstar

1)Elrond Halfelven - Father
2)Elladan - brother
3)Elrohir - brother
4)Celebrian - mother

[Samwise]

I knew someone out there would know it....
Naurlothwen, since it was your question, is that right?

[Nerdanel]

Ok, if I was wrong, disregard this question. But just in case:

Galadriel

[elengil]

Galadriel

1. Finarfin & Earwen - Parents
2. Celebrian - Daughter
3. Arwen - Grand-daughter
4. Luthien - 2nd. cousin (or is that 1st cousin once removed??)

3)Belladonna Took-Mother
--------------------
Um...is it me, or are some of those names for the wrong hobbit?

[elengil]

now now now, Pippin and Merry were related, therefore Pippin's relations *are* Merry's relations.. tricky what? Though I admit that the particulars of *how* they're related are wrong in the above posts....

[ September 17, 2002: Message edited by: elengil ]

[Samwise]

True. smilies/wink.gif

[Joy]

Meriadoc Brandybuck

1. Saradoc - Father

[Glorfinniel the Lost]

Let's see:

Orodreth:Father
Finrod Felegund:Uncle
Celebrían:Cousin
Fingolfin:Second Grandfather? Since Finarfin, her Granfather was Fingolfin's brother?

[Joy]

Glorfinel, correct. You got the relations right, but Fingolfin would be called her Great-Uncle.

[merlilot]

Hmm, this looks fun, so I am gonna revive it.

And your person is...

Fingolfin!

Am I right?

[Frodo Baggins]

Yes ORual, you are.

[Orual]

Wait, am I out of turn? Is it Isilya's turn? Either way, I forfeit my turn because I can't think of a good question.

~*~Orual~*~

[Diamond18]

No, it was your turn Orual. So since you've forfeited I'll take it.

Peregrin Took

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

I hope Pippin hasn't already been done. I've read through this whole thread, but that was a while ago. In any case, there are at least 8 close relatives that can be listed for him.

(If someone gives a correct answer, but not the 8 I was thinking of, do I accept that or hold out for the "what was I thinking of" answer?)

[Orual]

Oh, LoL, I didn't read any dates. ::blushes:: Stupid me.

Let me try...

1) Paladin II (father)
2) Eglantine Banks (mother)
3) Pearl (sister)
4) Pimpernel (brother)
5) Pervinca (sister)
6) Esmeralda (aunt)
7) Saradoc Brandybuck (uncle)
8) And, naturally, Meriadoc Brandybuck! (1st cousin)

~*~Orual~*~

(Note: in my edition, it says "Esmeralds," for Pippin's aunt, but I'm guessing it's just a typo.)

[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Orual ]

[Diamond18]

That's right, except that Pimpernel was his sister, and I was thinking of his son Faramir instead of his uncle Saradoc (or was it his aunt I wasn't thinking of, gah...I forgot. One of those). Anyway, that was close enough! Your turn.

[ November 23, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]

[Orual]

Whoops! Good thing I wasn't trying that to Pimpernel's face. ^_^ C'mon, it was hard to tell! smilies/rolleyes.gif

Let's see...let's try

Boromir

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

Go for it!

~*~Orual~*~

[Samwise]

Wow! Good to see this thread up and running again! smilies/wink.gif Sorry to say, though, as far as I could get would be:

Boromir
1)Denethor=father
2)Faramir=brother
smilies/frown.gif

[Diamond18]

1. Denethor (father)
2. Finduilas (mother)
3. Faramir (brother)
4. Ecthelion (grandfather)
5. Uh.....Éowyn? (sister-in-law) smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Orual]

Diamond's got it! I wasn't looking for Eowyn, though--I was looking for Adrahil, Finduilas' father. It's in the appendices...it says that Denethor married Finduilas, daughter of Adrahil. But Eowyn will do. ^_^

Lead on, Diamond!

[Diamond18]

All right...

Túrin Turambar:

*Ahem*

[Guinevere]

Turin Turambar
1.Hurin (father)

3.Nienor/Niniel (sister/wife)
4.Huor (uncle)
5.Tuor (cousin) (I hope that`ll do, I can`t remember the grandfather) smilies/wink.gif

[Diamond18]

That will indeed do! I was actually fishing for Túrin's other sister, Lalaith, though, instead of Huor and Tuor. Just to be tricky, you know. smilies/wink.gif

[Guinevere]

Thank you! OK, here goes:

Thorin Oakenshield

1.
2.
3.
4. (+5.)

[Ringannunwen]

smilies/frown.gif oh gosh i have no idea!!!

[Diamond18]

1. Thráin (Father)
2. Frerin (brother)
3. Dís (brother)
4 + 5. Fíli and Kíli (nephews)

[Guinevere]

Good! I personally had been thinking of Thror, Thorins grandfather,(instead of Frerin) since he is mentioned in the Hobbit and in the appendix A.
Btw, Dis is actually Thorins SISTER (and the mother of Fili and Kili), the only female dwarf ever mentioned by Tolkien!! smilies/wink.gif

Your turn !

[Diamond18]

Oops. smilies/biggrin.gif My sincerest apologies to Dís.

Elfwine:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

[Guinevere]

Is that from the book of lost tales? Sorry, I haven`t read that (yet) smilies/frown.gif so I have to leave the answer to someone else.

[Diamond18]

Hint: The answer can be found in Appendix A of Lord of the Rings.

[Guinevere]

Thank you for the hint! In that case you mean Eomer`s son ?
(never noticed his name before. I only heard about an Elfwine in the Lost Tales)

Elfwine "the Fair" of Rohan
1.Eomer (father)
2.Lothiriel (mother)
3.Eowyn (aunt)
4.Theodwyn (grandmother)
5.Eomund (grandfather)
6.Imrahil (grandfather on mothers side)

[Diamond18]

Exactly right! Those were indeed the names I was searching for (for the hint I almost said "Éomer's son" but...well that would be giving it away! So I just used the shield of Rohan icon...so subtle... smilies/wink.gif ).

[Guinevere]

Hmm, let`s see, who didn`t we have before?

Aragorn (alias Strider)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

[Orual]

Let me see...

1) Arathorn--father
2) Gilthalion--mother
3) Arwen--wife
4) Eldarion--son
5) Elrond--father-in-law??

I'm kind of going out on a limb with Elrond, but I couldn't think of anybody else.

[Guinevere]

You`ve got nearly everything right. smilies/smile.gif
The name of Aragorn`s mother is Gilraen, though! And instead of the father-in-law, I had been thinking of the Grandfather, Arador.(mentioned in the appendix) But it`s ok, your turn now ! (If you still can think of anyone we haven`t "done" yet... smilies/wink.gif )

[ December 28, 2002: Message edited by: Guinevere ]

I dashed off an answer to this, then realised that I didn't have very exact connections at all. Anyway here goes nothing smilies/smile.gif
Felarof
1)Shadowfax (descendant, according to legend)
2) Snowmane (very loosely connected : as in also being ridden by Theoden so possibly descended from Shadowfax.
3) Lightfoot (Snowmane's mum/dad, so same reason as above)
4) Nahar (Orome's horse...it is mentioned in the Silm that Felarof was brought "Out of the West"...you can see I'm reaching here!)
Any good? smilies/rolleyes.gif

Heehee... that's exactly what I was looking for, although I wasn't counting Nahar, because I couldn't find anything at all that made it more definite than you did, but it's worth a mentioning smilies/wink.gif.

Can anyone find 6 without using great greats? Within grandparents and grandchildren? smilies/evil.gif Find them... *whispered in an evil voice*

Sophia

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

[Guinevere]

Well... we haven't mentioned yet:

-Elatan of Andunië (Valandil's father)
-Isilmë (aunt)

Were you looking for those?

But don't ask me to find a new set of relatives, I can't think of any that we haven't already "done" ! smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Beautiful... I wasn't looking for a new set of relatives, I was looking for a set that included Elatan and Isilme. smilies/biggrin.gif

It's your go.

Sophia

[Guinevere]

Thank you, Sophia!
Well, after making a list of all Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and Men we have already had here, I did finally find someone :

Helm Hammerhand

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Helm Hammerhand

2)Deor- grandfather
3)Hild- sister

[Guinevere]

Can you find the names of Helm's two sons.?..(they are mentioned in the text) I'd rather have those than the Grandnephew smilies/wink.gif

[Eruanna]

Helm's sons were Haleth and Háma.

(Just butting in here, Sophia has already done the hard work) smilies/smile.gif

[Guinevere]

Exactly, Eruanna! Well, either you or Sophia can continue.

[Eruanna]

It should be Sophia's turn, I think. smilies/smile.gif

[Sophia the Thunder Mistress]

Heavens, you go Eruanna, you were right. If it should be my turn now I should have let you have the last one instead of Guinevere... no no... the person who gets the final answer is right. smilies/smile.gif Please go...

Sophia

[Eruanna]

Ok, thanks.
How about Barahir of Gondor/Ithilien

[Tinuviel Took]

As I have seen on the books forum, that no other desendents of Faramir and Eowyn seem to be found. I'm asuming in this quess, that great-uncle's and/or great-grandfathers must count even though it seems that has not always been excepted earlier on this thread.

Barahir of Gondor/Ithilien
1) Faramir-grandfather
2) Eowyn-grandmother
3) Boromir-greatuncle
4) Eomer-greatuncle
5) Denethor-greatgrandfather

[Eruanna]

You got all the relatives that I could find, except for Finduilas (wife of Denethor)

You are right, we try to avoid great-greats and in-laws if we can, but if you check back you will see that sometimes it's impossible (especially when we try to outdo each other...the thread has altered a little since its creation smilies/wink.gif )

You're up next smilies/smile.gif

[Tinuviel Took]

okay, it may take me a little while to find a question not used and not too easy. I'll do my best to find one quickly.

10) Dain 1 (Uncle)
11) Gror (Cousin)
12) Fror (Cousin)

[Tinuviel Took]

Correct. I was thinking nephew instead of great-grandson but I know how it is having to mention someone in conection to anything that has to do with him/her.

[Eruanna]
