Wow! Good to see this thread up and running again! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Sorry to say, though, as far as I could get would be:

Boromir
1)Denethor=father
2)Faramir=brother
[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Diamond18 11-24-2002 01:46 PM

1. Denethor (father)
2. Finduilas (mother)
3. Faramir (brother)
4. Ecthelion (grandfather)
5. Uh.....Éowyn? (sister-in-law) [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Orual 11-24-2002 02:27 PM

Diamond's got it! I wasn't looking for Eowyn, though--I was looking for Adrahil, Finduilas' father. It's in the appendices...it says that Denethor married Finduilas, daughter of Adrahil. But Eowyn will do. ^_^

Lead on, Diamond!

Diamond18 11-24-2002 10:03 PM

All right...

Túrin Turambar:

1.
2.
3.
4.

Diamond18 12-04-2002 12:17 PM

*Ahem*

Guinevere 12-05-2002 02:03 PM

Turin Turambar
1.Hurin (father)
2.Morwen (mother)
3.Nienor/Niniel (sister/wife)
4.Huor (uncle)
5.Tuor (cousin) (I hope that`ll do, I can`t remember the grandfather) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Diamond18 12-05-2002 05:06 PM

That will indeed do! I was actually fishing for Túrin's other sister, Lalaith, though, instead of Huor and Tuor. Just to be tricky, you know. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Guinevere 12-06-2002 03:37 AM

Thank you! OK, here goes:

Thorin Oakenshield

1.
2.
3.
4. (+5.)

Ringannunwen 12-06-2002 05:58 AM

[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] oh gosh i have no idea!!!

Diamond18 12-07-2002 10:52 AM

1. Thráin (Father)
2. Frerin (brother)
3. Dís (brother)
4 + 5. Fíli and Kíli (nephews)

Guinevere 12-07-2002 11:25 AM

Good! I personally had been thinking of Thror, Thorins grandfather,(instead of Frerin) since he is mentioned in the Hobbit and in the appendix A.
Btw, Dis is actually Thorins SISTER (and the mother of Fili and Kili), the only female dwarf ever mentioned by Tolkien!! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Your turn !

Diamond18 12-08-2002 01:32 PM

Oops. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] My sincerest apologies to Dís.

Elfwine:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Guinevere 12-08-2002 02:12 PM

Is that from the book of lost tales? Sorry, I haven`t read that (yet) [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] so I have to leave the answer to someone else.

Diamond18 12-08-2002 03:16 PM

Hint: The answer can be found in Appendix A of Lord of the Rings.

Guinevere 12-11-2002 02:49 AM

Thank you for the hint! In that case you mean Eomer`s son ?
(never noticed his name before. I only heard about an Elfwine in the Lost Tales)

Elfwine "the Fair" of Rohan
1.Eomer (father)
2.Lothiriel (mother)
3.Eowyn (aunt)
4.Theodwyn (grandmother)
5.Eomund (grandfather)
6.Imrahil (grandfather on mothers side)

Diamond18 12-11-2002 10:35 AM

Exactly right! Those were indeed the names I was searching for (for the hint I almost said "Éomer's son" but...well that would be giving it away! So I just used the shield of Rohan icon...so subtle... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Guinevere 12-11-2002 02:20 PM

Hmm, let`s see, who didn`t we have before?

Aragorn (alias Strider)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Orual 12-27-2002 09:23 PM

Let me see...

1) Arathorn--father
2) Gilthalion--mother
3) Arwen--wife
4) Eldarion--son
5) Elrond--father-in-law??

I'm kind of going out on a limb with Elrond, but I couldn't think of anybody else.

Guinevere 12-28-2002 07:44 AM

You`ve got nearly everything right. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
The name of Aragorn`s mother is Gilraen, though! And instead of the father-in-law, I had been thinking of the Grandfather, Arador.(mentioned in the appendix) But it`s ok, your turn now ! (If you still can think of anyone we haven`t "done" yet... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )
