You are of course...incorrect! Incorrect, that is, about being wrong. you are incorrect about being wrong! Your turn!

Two quotes, one question.
 

What's my question, and the answer? :) Enjoy!

Um...Nil...although your creative, the way the thread works, as you should know as you made it....is you give to names and show their family ties. AS for your question...is it Saruman or Radagast and um...Manwe? Whatever! maybe you're thinking of the wrong thread, but that's not how it works!

Oh, all right.
 

Aragorn -> Gandalf

Aragorn -s> Eru -f> Gandalf

(Children of Iluvatar)

C'mon! Not that way!
 

Look at the second quote. Only the Ainur are the direct offsprings of Ilúvatar.

Now all you have to do is link Aragorn to an Ainu...

P.S. Sorry for the lengthy disappearance. For the next two months my comings and goings wll be unpredictable.

Aragorn -f>Eldarion -s>Arwen d->Elrond -s>Elwing -d>Dior -s>Luthien -d> Melian -d>Eru -f> Gandalf

Perfect. ;)

Thanks Nil. Try

Amandil -> Celebrimbor

Ok...
 

Amandil -f> Elendil -f> Isildur -f> Valandil -f> Eldacar -f> Arantar -f> Tarcil -f> Tarondor -f> Valandur -f> Elendur -f> Eärendur -f> Amlaith -f> Beleg -f> Mallor -f> Celepharn -f> Celebrindor -f> Malvegil -f> Argeleb I -f> Arveleg I -f> Araphor -f> Argeleb II -f> Arvegil -f> Arveleg II -f> Araval -f> Araphant -f> Arvedui -f> Aranarth -f> Arahael -f> Aranuir -f> Aravir -f> Aragorn I -f> Araglas -f> Arahad I -f> Aragost -f> Aravorn -f> Arahad II -f> Arassuil -f> Arathorn I -f> Argonui -f> Arador -f> Arathorn II -f> Aragorn II -f> Eldarion -s> Arwen -d> Celebrían -d> Galadriel -d> Finarfin -s> Finwë -f> Fëanor -f> Curufin -f> Celebrimbor

Evil, evil, evil. Making me write those long lines.

Evil but...
 

on the brighter side, you got it right! ;)

Thanks!
 

Now for it:
Finrod -> Ivorwen

Finrod -s> Finarfin -s> Finwë -f> Fingolfin -f> Turgon -f> Idril -m> Eärendil -f> Elrond -f> Arwen -m> Eldarion -s> Aragorn II -s> Gilraen -d>Ivorwen

'tis an exchange.
 

You're correct...again. ;)

Lol, how about Arwen->Durin (The Deathless)

Arwen to Gimli? A half-elf to a dwarf?
 

Methinks you're confusing this thread for the "Six degrees of separation" thread. ;)

So it appears, because of our constant exchange. However, I did mean to put them in this Familial Ties thread. Trust me, it works :p.

I was actually inspired to ask this question by you Nil, believe it or not.

Oh and by the way, I changed Gimli to Durin the Deathless so that it could be done without skipping unknown people in between :).

I think I got it...
 

Here goes:

Arwen -d> Elrond -s> Elwing -d> Dior Eluchil -s> Lúthien -d> Melian -> Eru -f> Aulë -> Durin I (the Deathless)

Am I right, or is my answer right?

You're wrong, but your answer's right
 

This is like pass the parcel...well I guess it's your go...again...:)

A longer one. [insert evil smiley]

Olwë -> Elros

Two ways. You may use the -b> [brother] link once.

Olwë -b> Thingol -f> Luthien -m> Dior -f> Elwing -m> Elros

OR

Olwë -f> Earwen -m> Galadriel -m> Celebrian -m> Arwen -d> Elrond -b> Elros

OR

Olwë -f> Earwen -m> Galadriel -m> Celebrian -m> Arwen -d> Elrond -s> Elwing -m> Elros

OR
Olwë -f> Earwen -m> Galadriel -d> Finarfin -s> Finwë -f> Fingolfin -f> Turgon -f> Idril -m> Eärendil -f> Elros

Four ways?!
 

Not duplicated, but almost.
 

Anyway, try this one-

Boromir -> Elfwine

Two ways. One shorter and one longer :).

Just to be sure...
 

Uh...which Boromir. It would presumtuous of me to use "Boromir of the Nine Walkers."

It's Boromir of the Nine Walkers.

Boromir -s> Denethor -f> Faramir -f> Elboron -s> Eowyn -d> Eomund -f> Eomer -f> Elfwine

Correct.

*Bump* Perky!

Right, I knew that!
 

Well now let's see! Ah,

Amrod -----> Ar-Pharazon


Have the fun i'll know you'll have ;)

Amrod -s> Feanor -s> Finwe -f> Fingolfin -f> Turgon -f> Idril -m> Earendil -f> Elros Tar-Minyatur -f> Vardamir -f>Tar-Amandil -f> Tar-Elendil -f> Tar-Meneldur -f> Tar-Aldarion -f> Tar Ancalime -m> Tar-Anarion -f>Tar-Surion -f> Tar-Telperien -m> Tar-Minastir -f> Tar Ciryatan -f>Tar-Atanamir -f> Tar Ancalimon -f> Tar-Telemmaite -f> Tar-Vanimelde -m> Tar Alcarin -f> Tar Calmacil -f> Ar-Adunakhor -f> Ar-Zimrathon -f> Ar-Sakaltho -f> Ar-Gimilzor -f> Ar-Gimilkhad -f> Ar-Pharazon

Phew!

Roger Roger! That's a Big 10-4 Over

I can't be bothered thinking so I'll give you an easy one that's relatively free of pain:

Celeborn -> Luthien

That one was indeed easy:

Celeborn -s> Galadhon -f> Galathil -f> Nimloth -m> Elwing -d> Dior -s> Luthien

Well done.

Well well well...

Barahir (Beren's father) -> Eomer

There is a small gap in there.

A question.
 

Is Vidugavia involved?

Yes.

If you mean Beren Erchamion and not Beren the steward it's:
Beren -f> Dior -f> Elwing -m> Elrond -f> Arwen -m> Eldarion -s> Aragorn II -s> Arathorn II -s> Arador -s> Argonui -s> Arathorn I -s> Arassuil -s> Arahad II -s> Aravorn -s> Aragost -s> Arahad I -s> Araglas -s> Aragorn I -s> Aravir -s> Aranuir -s> Arahael -s> Aranarth -s> Arvedui -s> Araphant -s> Araval s> Arveleg II -s> Arvegil -s> Argeleb II -s> Araphor -s> Arveleg I -s> Argeleb I -s> Malvegil -s> Celebrindor -s> Celepharn -s> Mallor -s> Beleg -s> Amlaith -s> Eärendur -s> Elendur -s> Valandur -s> Tarondor -s> Tarcil -s> Arantar -s> Eldacar -s> Valandil -s> Isildur -s> Elendil -f> Anarion -f> Melendil -f> Cemendur -f> Earendil -f> Anardil -f> Ostoher -f> Tarostar -f> Turambar -f> Atanatar I -f> Siriondil -f> Tarkiryan -f> Eärnil I -f> Ciryandil -f> Hyarmendacil I -f> Atanatar II -f> Calmacil -f> Minalcar -f> Valakar -f> Eldacar -s> Galadwen -d> Vidugavia -f> ..... -f> Marhari -f> Marhwini -f> Forthwini -gf> Frumgar -f> Fram -f> Léod -f> Eorl -f> Brego -f> Aldor -f> Frea -f> Freawine -f> Goldwine -f>Deor -f> Gram -f> Hild -m> Frealaf -f> Brytta -f> Walda -f> Folca -f> Folcwine -f> Fengel -f> Thengel -f> Theodwyn -m> Eomer


Whew, hope i'm right!

You are right, except for the fact that you were supposed to start with Barahir. ;) But don't worry, you'll get it anyway. But you could have shortened it by using the connection between Arvedui and Firiel. The floor is yours. :)

Woah! I did start at Beren! Wowzers! I make tons of careless mistakes, and that proves it! Anyways, the next one is

Stonehelm ---> Ironfoot


very easy
