Yes! That's what I am looking for. Well done.

Thanks! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Let's go on with these:

Barahir
Beren
Boromir
Dior
Huor
Hurin
Turin

was Huor the only one who wasn't a ruling steward of Gondor?

You're so right, Lyra! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I knew I shouldn't have put Boromir there, it made it too easy! Oh well... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Denethor
Melian
Hurin
Theoden
Galadriel
Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

Galadriel was the only one whose offspring did not die.

Denthor's son, Boromir, was killed by Orcs defending Merry and Pippin. His brother Faramir died of old age.

Melian's daughter, Luthien, relinquished her immortality for the love of Beren.

Hurin's children all died: Urwen from an evil plague released by Morgoth, Nienor threw herself in the river Teiglin when she learned from a dying Glaurung that she had married her brother, and the self-same Turin slew himself in grief shortly therefater.

Theoden's son, Theodred fell at the first battle of the Ford of Isen.

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins' son, Lotho was killed by Grima Wormtongue.

Galadriel's daughter, Celebrian, although captured, tormented and poisoned by Orcs, was rescued by her sons and healed by Elrond. She therefore did not die, but chose to pass to the West.

So, is it Galadriel?

OK, way too easy for you. Yes that was it. I didn't think it would go SO fast as that!

It's all down to timing, Lyra. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Next up:

Bilbo
Fatty
Frodo
Merry
Pippin

Fatty never left the shire, but that seems so easy... *suspicious* [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Or is it that Fatty was both a hobbit and a pony?

Did only Fatty not write a book?
Or is Frodo the only one not to have direct Took parentage?

Sophia, both true, but not what I'm thinking of.

Lyra, your on the right track with your second answer ...

[ March 27, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

Bilbo out lived the old took

So it's not the fact that they all have a Took for a parent? Hmmm...
How about Fatty is the only one with no Baggins blood?

No and no. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's a hint:

Bilbo
Fatty
Frodo
Merry
Pippin
and
Rose

i woudl say Rose becasue either

1. she was only women/married Sam of the fellowship
2. they all had to do something with the ring(Bilbo gave ring,Fatty help Frodo to which direction or something)
3. Rose was only one that married

Sam because he got married first?

Eh? Sam's not on the list (although he is central to the answer *hint hint*). [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

rose was the only one to have childeren

Ooh ooh!
Fatty is the only one who isn't one of sam's kids!

Spot on, Lyra. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn ...

EDIT: I'm SO stupid! odd man out!
OK, easy peasy:

Adanedhel
Gorthol
Neithan
Telumehtar
Agarwaen

[ April 04, 2003: Message edited by: Lyra Greenleaf ]

Telumethar - 28th King of Gondor

All the others were names given to or taken by Turin.

Yes, your go!

Okay, let's try odd woman out:

Arwen
Luthien
Earwen
Nimloth
Galadriel
Elwing

galdreil becausethe others were Half-Elven or married men

Sorry that's not it.

None of Arwen's children went to the Undying Lands.

Nimloth was the only one who was murdered?

Eruanna you are correct. You have the floor.

I've read this thread.....mine is probably way too easy but:

Fëanor
Fingon
Maeglin
Curufin
Maedhros
Ereinion
Finrod

Ereinion (Gil-Galad) was the only one who survived into the Second Age?

Good, but not what I was looking for. Think families. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Feanor - He is the only one who is a son of Finwe. The other are grandsons or great-grandsons.

Closer....very warm in fact....but...think "pecking order" or position in family. (whoops...that's probably done it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

So Curufin is the only one that wasn't an oldest child?

That's it!

You're on next [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Anarion
Elendil
Amandil
Eldarion
Calmacil

-Sophia

Is it Amandil because he is the only one who wasn't a king?

Nope

Was Eldarion the only who lived to see the Fourth Age?
