Incorrect analogies

First of all my math is all wrong! Bilbo becomes 50 in 2940 so thats my wild guess.

As I didn't have my books I researched the barrowdowns analogies and found that Frodo Baggins is born in TA 2969 BUT this is wrong!!! FRODO IS BORN IN TA 2968!!!

Still the quess is probably along the wrong lines ... as enep I await thee Gwaihir

Re: Incorrect analogies

Not quite sure where's he got too...It's been some time (about 350 posts <img src=tongue.gif ALT=":b"> ) so I'll ask a new one:

The River Sirion is to Beleriand as the River ____ is to Middle Earth?

Not the best analogy, but just to get things started...<img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Re: Incorrect analogies

Nay, Beleriand was and is never called ME. Sort of like Europe and Asia - they're connected, but are considered different continents, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, you're answer is correct. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> With regard to your 'rank', you never become a 'good guy', as you are in a barrow - you can only decay <img src=biggrin.gif ALT=":D"> There's a thread somewhere in the Barrow-Downs forum that lists all the 'ranks.'

The best answer I can think of is 'Elrond'. He took the place of Aragorn's father, as Bilbo did for Frodo.

You're not thinking of Elendil, are you? Frodo is the heir of Bilbo, and Araagorn refers to himself as the heir of Elendil. That seems strained, though.

Eldacar lived ca TA 1500! The name Vinitharya was given to him by the Northmen of Rhovanion who some 500 years later were known as the Eothéod - Im can only guess that the name Vinitharya too would come from Old English/Anglo-Saxon - but it doesn't seem right and probably isn't <img src=cool.gif ALT="8)">
