I need a reason. The reason is pretty specific, so just a person won't do. The answer is in the Silm. if you read a little about each individual, you'll get it. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That was a big hint!

Cuthalion because his is the only name that means a weapon (strongbow)?

No. It isn't something about them that makes them different, it's something about everyone else. Something that happened to everyone else.

OK, I think I've got it.

It's either Elured or Lorindol. They were the only ones not slain by Turin or his companions.

My final guess would be Elured.

Am I right? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Well, Elentarimir, that was the wrong answer when I gave it, so I would imagine that it is still wrong. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Is it that they were all killed by those who were not servants of Morgoth (ie by Elves and Men), except Hador Lorindol who was killed by Orcs?

Is Beleg Cuthalion the odd "man" out?
His was the only accidental death; he was killed in error by a friend. All of the others were slain by enemies.

Ooh, I know the answer!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I can't tell you people because Arestevana told me not to.

Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

Elured was the only one to not appear in the Narn i Hin Hurin?

Beleg (Cuthalion) is the only full elf? Elured, being Dior´s son, was half-elven y some percentage, Brandir and Lorindol are men and Khim is a dwarf.

Khim because he is the only one with an add to his name?
Cuthalion- Beleg
Elured- this COULD also be Dior, as it means "Elu´s heir"
Khim
Brandir- "the lame"
Lorindel- Hador

Please continue this game in a new thread. I am closing the long ones in an effort to conserve bandwidth.

Thanks!

Odd man out continued- part 2
 

Mr Barrow-wight asked us to continue somewhere else, soooo HERE WE ARE! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Current question is:

Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

Elured was the only one to not appear in the Narn i Hin Hurin?

Beleg (Cuthalion) is the only full elf? Elured, being Dior´s son, was half-elven y some percentage, Brandir and Lorindol are men and Khim is a dwarf.

Khim because he is the only one with an add to his name?
Cuthalion- Beleg
Elured- this COULD also be Dior, as it means "Elu´s heir"
Khim
Brandir- "the lame"
Lorindel- Hador

Elured because he is the only one not slain by a weapon?

Eluréd: The only half elf, half Maia?

Lórindol: The only one with golden hair?
The only one who was not killed by a sword?

By the way, Elured was lost, with his younger brother Elurín, in the assault on Doriath by the Sons of Fëanor. This probebly means that he was killed by a weapon.

Saucepan, you may continue if you wish. You were so close! Lorindol was the odd one out. It was because the people who killed him did not regret it later. Give us another! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Borondir
Celeborn
Cirion
Dunhere
Tuor
Wormtongue

[img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Celeborn is the only Elf on the list. The rest are Men.

Surely not? Not after he put an evil face at the end! There would seem to be a Rohan connection, but I just can't think of it- so out of desperation:

Only Tuor sailed into the West?
Only Dunhere died in battle?
Only Tuor has no other name or title? (He wasn't Lord of anywhere, or known as anything else like Borondir was the Rider of the Last Hope)

This is comeing from nowhere, just so ya know. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Borondir:
Only rider from Gondor?
Only one to present the Seal of the Stewards to Eorl?
The only one who did not have a leadership position?

Celeborn:
The only Elf from Doriath?
The only one who was married?
The only Lord?
The only one who had nothing to do with Rohan?


Or did you mean The White Tree that grew in the central regions of Tol Eressëa?
The only tree?
The only one from Galathilion?

Cirion:
The only Ruling Steward of Gondor?

Dunhere:
The only captain?

Tuor:
The only one who journeyed to Nevrast?
The only one who spoke to Ulmo?

Wormtongue:
The only counsellor to Théoden?
The only spy of Saruman?

None of the above. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Tuor never heard Rohirric spoken. (It hadn't been invented when he left ME)

Wormtongue for he was the only one allied with Saruman?

Wormtongue because he is the only evil one?

(this is kinda similar to other posts but it's my guess!)

No, there is no correct answer yet.

Hint: This is not to do with what the characters did or didn't do. It is about where they may be found. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Wormtongue's not in the Silmarilion?

Dunhere is the only one not mentioned outside LotR?

Neither are some of the others listed.

He is mentioned outside LotR.

But you are both very much on the right track ... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Dunhere is not mentioned in Unfinished Tales ?

He is mentioned in The Battles of the Fords of Isen.

But you are getting very warm now.

Borondir is the only one not found in both LotR and UT ? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Correct! Borondir is in UT only, whereas the others are in both. Well done, Turambar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

The thread is yours ...

Beren
Turin
Dior
Earendil
Mablung

EDIT: good question, SPM.

[ June 11, 2003: Message edited by: Turambar ]

Turin never owned the Nauglamir?

Did Mablung? In any case you're very close.

Turin never touched the Silmaril.

Beren was called many names, but so was Turin....

Mablung never saw an Elf? That's just a guess, probably wrong...

Lindolirian has it.

Ah, maybe not after all. He fought for it in Menegroth, but died. I thought it was in his possession during that time, but It was most likely owned by Melian. Oh, btw Elen, Mablung WAS an elf. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
*watches Lindolirian expectantly*

Fingon
Hurin
Ecthelion
Feanor

Hurin wasn't killed by a balrog?
