Éowyn?

I thought someone would answer that.
 

No. :p

Théoden

Éomer? Both mistrusted the former?

Éomer is the answer.
 

Fin2, the thread is yours!

(There, I changed your nick! ;) )

Goin' up.
 

Fin2?

That's twice I've had to be bumped! How embarassing :eek:!

William is to Bilbo as

Bilbo is to ______.

The Sackville Bagginses maybe? Cause Bilbo tried to steal from William and the Sackville Bagginses tried to steal from Bilbo.

Yep.

Merry and Pippin were to Treebeard as

______________ was to Men

The Eldar? Treebeard didn't know of the hobbits' existence, as the Edain were not aware of the Eldar.

Close, but your answer does not fit the form of the verb: 'was'

Hows about Felagund (Nom)?

Correct!

This one shouldn't be too hard...

Fimbrethil is to Treebread as

_____________ is to Sauron

The One Ring? Both are 'lost' and they're hoping to find them?

yup, I knew it wouldn't take much puzzling over that one!

Cheers,

Theoden is to Eomer as

Helm is to ______________.

Another easy one.

Fréaláf Hildeson.
 

A gave the throne to sister-son B.

The son of Finrod has it!

Sorry. Forgot about this.
 

Thingol is to Morwen

as

______________ is to Gilraën.


Quite easy, I believe.

Two days passed.
 

No guesses?

This is really easy, albeit the core relation is somewhat deflected.

Elrond?

In both cases, the former offered sanctuary to the latter's son within their realm.

Yes!
 

I mean, what's with Elves and vaguely Elf-like mothers? :rolleyes:

Take the thread! :)

Thanks. :) Thread taken.

Sam is to Frodo

as

______ is to Bilbo

The Gaffer because he was Bilbo's gardener as Sam was Frodo's gardener.

Good answer. I knew that there would be a few connections. But that is not the one that I am thinking of. Sorry.

Perhaps Frodo?

Sam was Frodo's heir as Frodo was Bilbo's?

Sophia! How wonderful to see you here. Welcome back. :)

But I am afraid that is not the answer that I had in mind.

Hint: Think of Mount Doom ...

Dori?

Sam carried Frodo, Dori carried Bilbo.

Spot on, Evisse. Well done. :)

The thread is yours.

Thanks!

Boromir was to Aragorn
as
Aragorn was to _______.

Gandalf? Boromir (kind of) looked to Aragorn for leadership, and Aragorn looked to Gandalf for leadership?

Elrond? Boromir was, in a way, under the command of Aragorn, and when Aragorn was growing up, he was under the care of Elrond.

Nope neither. The answer is one which may seem odd, but true from a certain perspective. A good strategy for this is to think of circumstances, not persons....

Arwen? Boromir died in Aragorn's company and Aragorn died in Arwen's?

Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind. :)
Your thread.

Thanks.

Frodo is to Strider

as

Sam is to _________.

Frodo?

Frodo was protected by Strider as Sam protected Frodo?

Nope.
