Very good, Sophia! (Actually I had thought of Aldarion's mother, Almarian, and perhaps Vëantur, his other grandfather, but you found quite enough relatives!) your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Guinevere [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Let's do Felarof:

1)
2)
3)

and connections won't be exact [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Sophia

I dashed off an answer to this, then realised that I didn't have very exact connections at all. Anyway here goes nothing [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Felarof
1)Shadowfax (descendant, according to legend)
2) Snowmane (very loosely connected : as in also being ridden by Theoden so possibly descended from Shadowfax.
3) Lightfoot (Snowmane's mum/dad, so same reason as above)
4) Nahar (Orome's horse...it is mentioned in the Silm that Felarof was brought "Out of the West"...you can see I'm reaching here!)
Any good? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[ April 27, 2003: Message edited by: Eruanna ]

Heehee... that's exactly what I was looking for, although I wasn't counting Nahar, because I couldn't find anything at all that made it more definite than you did, but it's worth a mentioning [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. I just thought it would be fun to mix it up a little and do an animal, then I realized that it was so inexact.

Sophia

Good one, though. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Try Calimehtar

and an extra one

Calimehtar

4) Artamir- grandson
5) Faramir- grandson
6) Telumetar- grandfather

Heavens... don't these kings have wives?

Sophia

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Well done Sophia....for number six I had Arvedui who was his son-in-law, but you found one better! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Carry on please!

An easy one...

Ok, I've not played this before so lets hope I've got the hang of it.
1) Eomund - husband
2)Eowyn - daughter
3) Eomer - son
4) Theoden - brother
5) Thengel - father
6) Morwen - mother
7) Theodred - nephew
8) Faramir- son-in-law

I'll take that [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]... I was looking for Fengel (her grandfather) instead of Faramir... (we ususally avoid in-laws unless specified). But that works [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Sophia

Sorry about the delay in coming up with something. I had planned to do me...well, my namesake, but I saw that Turin's family had been well covered.
Ok, lets do Idril Celebrindal. (Family tree only going back as far as grandparents and down as far as grandchildren, and no in-laws - is that right?)

You'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to catch you out, Sophia!

Or have terrible insomnia I suppose.

Valandil, first lord of Andunie

Good luck [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I found this one quite difficult [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
But....

1) Tar-Amandil (Great-grandfather)
2) Tar-Elendil (Grandfather)
3) Silmariën (Mother)
4) Tar-Meneldur (Uncle)
5) Tar-Aldarion (Cousin)
6) Vardamir Nólimon (Great-great grandfather)

7) Elros (Tar-Minyatur, Great-great-great grandfather)
The only others I could find were Amandil, and Elendil the Tall who were direct descendants.

Can anyone find 6 without using great greats? Within grandparents and grandchildren? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] Find them... *whispered in an evil voice*

Sophia

*bump* [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Well... we haven't mentioned yet:

-Elatan of Andunië (Valandil's father)
-Isilmë (aunt)

Were you looking for those?

But don't ask me to find a new set of relatives, I can't think of any that we haven't already "done" ! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[ May 13, 2003: Message edited by: Guinevere ]

Beautiful... I wasn't looking for a new set of relatives, I was looking for a set that included Elatan and Isilme. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It's your go.

Sophia

Thank you, Sophia!
Well, after making a list of all Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves and Men we have already had here, I did finally find someone :

Helm Hammerhand
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Helm Hammerhand

1)Gram- father
2)Deor- grandfather
3)Hild- sister
4)Frealaf- nephew
5)Brytta Leofa- grand nephew???

[ May 16, 2003: Message edited by: Sophia the Thunder Mistress ]

Can you find the names of Helm's two sons.?..(they are mentioned in the text) I'd rather have those than the Grandnephew [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Helm's sons were Haleth and Háma.

(Just butting in here, Sophia has already done the hard work) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Exactly, Eruanna! Well, either you or Sophia can continue.

It should be Sophia's turn, I think. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heavens, you go Eruanna, you were right. If it should be my turn now I should have let you have the last one instead of Guinevere... no no... the person who gets the final answer is right. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please go...

Sophia

Ok, thanks.
How about Barahir of Gondor/Ithilien
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

As I have seen on the books forum, that no other desendents of Faramir and Eowyn seem to be found. I'm asuming in this quess, that great-uncle's and/or great-grandfathers must count even though it seems that has not always been excepted earlier on this thread.

Barahir of Gondor/Ithilien
1) Faramir-grandfather
2) Eowyn-grandmother
3) Boromir-greatuncle
4) Eomer-greatuncle
5) Denethor-greatgrandfather

You got all the relatives that I could find, except for Finduilas (wife of Denethor)

You are right, we try to avoid great-greats and in-laws if we can, but if you check back you will see that sometimes it's impossible (especially when we try to outdo each other...the thread has altered a little since its creation [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

You're up next [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

okay, it may take me a little while to find a question not used and not too easy. I'll do my best to find one quickly.

How about Farin?
