Nope... *mysterious smile like the MonaLisa*

The Saucepan Man 04-11-2003 06:42 PM

Is it Amandil, as the only one never to have ruled over Gondor, or to have set foot on ME?

... or do I get a:

Sorry my friend... keep trying!

Sophia

Gil-Galad 04-11-2003 08:19 PM

Elendil becasue he as a major elf-friend

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-11-2003 10:10 PM

Still no...

is it time for a hint? Some of these names may have been borne by more than one person...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-16-2003 06:14 PM

no takers at all? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I gave you a hint!
*Sophia sulks in the corner*

elven maiden Earwen 04-16-2003 06:18 PM

Anarion is a person and place

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-16-2003 06:19 PM

Nope, and I think you're confusing Anarion and Anorien [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

elven maiden Earwen 04-16-2003 06:20 PM

oopps my bad. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

alaklondewen 04-17-2003 10:55 AM

Eldarion is the only one who doesn't have two people with that name. Each of the other names is a Numenorian King and either a King of Gondor or in Amandil's case the Lord of Andúnië.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-17-2003 04:25 PM

After hard thought I've decided that Alaklondewen is right. I was looking for the fact that Eldarion was the only one that was not the ruling name of a King of Numenor. But since Alak did mention that specifically in her answer she's right [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia

alaklondewen 04-17-2003 09:46 PM

Thank you, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I believe this will probably be an easy one...

Ori
Balin
Gloin
Nali
Oin

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-17-2003 10:58 PM

Nali wasn't one of the Dwarves that went on Thorin & Bilbo's quest

Sophia

alaklondewen 04-18-2003 08:38 AM

You're right that he didn't, but that's not what I'm looking for.

Lyra Greenleaf 04-20-2003 03:13 PM

You made Nali up? Sorry, I'm only joking but I can't find anything and it's frustrating!

Erm, Nali is the only one not related to Gimli?

alaklondewen 04-20-2003 06:14 PM

Nope, and Náli is a real Dwarf (in Tolkien's mind anyway [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Tar-Palantir 04-21-2003 11:11 AM

Nali was not from Erebor? Or was not of Durin's line?

alaklondewen 04-21-2003 11:16 AM

Nope. Hint: Náli is NOT the answer. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gil-Galad 04-21-2003 03:49 PM

Balin was the last one of his kind to retake Khazad-Dum?

alaklondewen 04-21-2003 07:36 PM

You are extremely close, Gil-galad. Now think, they all have something in common, except...

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-21-2003 07:38 PM

Gloin wasn't part of Balin's Khazad-dum retaking team [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. Nali is mentioned in the book of Mazarbul as being killed at Moria, I believe.

alaklondewen 04-21-2003 07:42 PM

Yes! Sophia, I just did a Snoopy dance for you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Please, continue.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-26-2003 01:32 PM

it's been a few days, but here goes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lenwe
Olwe
Earwen
Indis
Denethor
Cirdan

Lindolirian 04-27-2003 03:56 PM

Lenwë was the only one who never crossed the Blue Mountains and entered Beleriand.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-27-2003 04:05 PM

Nope nope [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Sophia

Annunfuiniel 04-27-2003 04:47 PM

All the others were Teleri-elves whereas Indis was of the Vanyar.

Sophia the Thunder Mistress 04-27-2003 07:11 PM

Bingo [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your go Annun...

Lindolirian 05-07-2003 05:59 PM

It's been ten days...
Aragorn
Aghan
Luthien
Frodo
Elrond

Arwen Imladris 05-08-2003 02:30 PM

Aghan because he is the only one who I haven't heard of before? The only one that isn't mentioned in the Lord of the Rings?

Lindolirian 05-08-2003 02:35 PM

Well I wasn't looking for what people had heard of or not, so no, that's not it.

Arwen Imladris 05-08-2003 02:36 PM

Luthien because she is the only girl?

Lalaith 05-08-2003 03:49 PM

Elrond is the only one who has immortality?

Lindolirian 05-08-2003 04:26 PM

It's a bit more in depth than that.

Faenaduial 05-09-2003 12:13 PM

Aghan - Only charachter not mentioned in LoTR. He's in the Unfinished Tales - The Faithful Stone.

The Saucepan Man 05-09-2003 05:42 PM

Frodo is the odd one out as he is the only one who is not recorded as having healing skills or as having healing anybody.

Aragorn part-healed Frodo after the attack on Weathertop, and also healed Faramir, Merry and Eowyn in the Houses of Healing.

Aghan healed his brother, who had been wounded by Orcs.

Luthien healed Beren after his hand (plus Silmaril) was bitten off by Carcharoth.

Elrond no doubt healed many, Frodo not least among them.

Lalaith 05-14-2003 03:18 PM

*bump*
I want to know if Saucepan was right!
Lindolirian, where are you?

Lindolirian 05-17-2003 03:42 PM

Saucepan Man is correct. Sorry it took so long, I had lost my access to my computer.

The Saucepan Man 05-18-2003 07:29 PM

OK, a nice easy one ...

Farmer Maggot
Frodo Baggins
Fredegar Bolger
Hamfast Gamgee
Meriadoc Brandybuck

Lindolirian 05-18-2003 07:36 PM

Hamfast has never crossed the Brandywine.
Gosh, that's gotta stink. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The Saucepan Man 05-18-2003 08:10 PM

Nope.
