Re: Realms

Well, this is probably too obvious, and not very &quot;cute&quot;, but I'm on a roll here so I'll say the first thing that occurs to me -- Frodo, the only one not to kill someone during LotR.

Re: Realms

OK - Gandalf - because he never had any rule? Aragorn became King, Gimli was chief at Aglarond, Frodo became Mayor and Galadriel Was Queen of Lorien?

Re: Realms

I'll let you have it. After my original idea, it occurred to me that every one of these characters is an odd man out
Gimli for never owning an Elven gemstone.
Frodo for never travelling OVER the Misty Mountains.
Galdriel for being the only one not to wear a weapon.
Gandalf and Aragorn for your previous reasons
My original thought was the Frodo one.
Proceed good sir.
Cheers,
Valros

Re: Realms

Actually I think that the reason Frodo is odd out is really cool <img src=cool.gif ALT="8)"> - I would never have thought of that - Won't you please come up with a new one - my answers was obvious and not that interesting ... so I'll decline if its OK

Re: Realms

Frodo - He didn't have a job at the Shire.

Sam was a gardener,
Sandyman worked at the mill,
Lotho was the mayor,
Robin Smallburrow was a sherrif.

He was a landowner.(i.e. landlord)

Re: Realms

Lotho sackville baggins because he was the only one not to live in hobbiton

"He turned to Eldarion, and gave into his hands the winged crown of Gondor and the sceptre of Arnor, and bade him farewell."</p>

Everyone's answers are great so far but...
not the reason I'm looking for.
hint- it has to do with their professions, but not government related.

Speaking for myself, I'm STUMPED. I didn't know Frodo had any profession (except author).

Re: Realms

Robin Smallburrow, because he was the only one that didn't produce a product, but a service...

Frodo produced writings/books
Ted produced Grain or whatever he made on the mill
Sam produced vegetables and flowers
Lotho mad among other things pipeweed

hmmmm

Actually it could also be Frodo - the only one that has produced somethin we can enjoy today <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Halbarad
Aragorn
Eomer
Legolas
Gimli

Re: Realms

The correct reason was for not producing anything(beer bellies don't count) and the odd one out now is Halberad for not fighting at the Battle of Helm's Deep!
Maybe...
