Great job, Lothiriel!

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-27-2002 01:33 PM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Thanks!
I'll have to think of one now. And sorry that everyone had to wait!

Aragorn-> Gwindor

Lindolirian 07-27-2002 02:08 PM

Aragorn-> Galadriel-> Finrod Felagund-> Gwindor

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-29-2002 12:42 PM

Finrod and Gwindor met? Oh well, assuming your right, it's now your turn! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian 07-30-2002 10:54 AM

Gwindor was a captain of Nargothrond before he was captured in Angband. umm i hafta go, I don't have time to think of one. I'll be back tho.

Lindolirian 07-30-2002 09:21 PM

Amarië-> Eilinel

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-31-2002 12:32 PM

Amarie-> Finrod-> Gorlim-> Eilinel

Daniel Telcontar 07-31-2002 02:44 PM

I think Barahir should be put in between Finrod and Gorlim, I doubt they knew each other. Just an observation.

Lothiriel Silmarien 07-31-2002 04:12 PM

Yeah I think your right. Again, Daniel, AGAIN your right! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian 07-31-2002 09:02 PM

Umm, yeah... Daniel's correct.

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-01-2002 12:55 AM

I'm always JUST getting it!! But not quite, damnit!

Daniel Telcontar 08-01-2002 03:03 AM

Well, you did get it. Gorlim may have known Finrod, if he helped assist him during the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, I was just providing an extra link to make sure it was correct. So go on, Lothiriel, it is your turn.

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-01-2002 11:47 AM

Your so nice Daniel, but that's ok. You usually come up with better ones anyway, you go.

Daniel Telcontar 08-02-2002 03:26 AM

Thanks, Lothiriel, I have made one, then, with 4 people in between.

Hurin-Dain II

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-02-2002 11:27 AM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Hurin-> Dain II

Hurin-> Turgon-> Galadriel-> Gandalf-> Thorin Oakenshield-> Dain II.
That is, assuming that Turgon and Galadriel met, which I'm sure they did, since they were cousins.

Daniel Telcontar 08-02-2002 03:06 PM

They did, Galadriel lived for a while with him in Nevrast, I believe. But if not, they probably meet in Tirion.
I had something else in mind: Hurin-Thingol-Celeborn-Gimli-Gloin-Dain II, but you are correct anyway.

Telchar 08-03-2002 04:46 AM

you can do that shorter ....

Hurin - Turgon - Galadirel - Gilmi - Dain II

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-03-2002 10:28 AM

That's what I had at first, but Daniel said there were 4 in between. So it's my turn? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Ok, gotta think of this one...
Ok, I looked for a while, and I've come up with two. I hope it's ok that I have two, just pick the one that you like and do that one. I couldn't make up my mind!

Agarwaen-> Ranugad
or
Ragnor-> Nimrodel

Telchar 08-03-2002 10:35 AM

Agarwaen - Thingol - Galadirel - Samwise -Ranugad

Ragnor - Beren - Thingol - Galadriel - (Amroth) - Nimrodel

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-16-2002 11:00 AM

Correct, as always, your turn!

Telchar 08-18-2002 10:00 AM

Easy one:
Nienna ---> Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-18-2002 12:33 PM

Nienna-> Lobelia Sackville-Baggins

Nienna-> Olorin/Gandalf-> Frodo-> Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.

Telchar 08-18-2002 11:53 PM

Perfect - go on L S

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-19-2002 12:10 AM

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Woohoo!
Ok....let's see..

Aredhel-> Faramir Took

Joy 08-19-2002 10:13 PM

Wow, I can't believe this topic has grown so big!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Aredhel -> Fingolfin -> Galadriel -> Pippin -> Faramir Took

Lothiriel Silmarien 08-20-2002 11:05 AM

Your turn Joy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Joy 08-21-2002 10:54 PM

Haldad -> Ladros

Anardil 08-22-2002 01:27 PM

Please forgive me if I'm ignorant, but I thought Ladros was the name of a place: the land in the northeastern part of Dorthonion where Boromir and his successors Bregor and Bregolas had their realm.

Anyway, for all it's worth, here is what I think is a link between Haldad and Boromir


Haldad -> Haleth -> Caranthir -> Angrod -> Boromir (or any other Lord of Ladros)

Anardil 08-22-2002 01:31 PM

Joy 08-22-2002 10:26 PM

Not quite, Ladros was a person. But you have a pretty good start so far. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lindolirian 09-03-2002 07:30 PM

Are you sure? This is the only definition I've found on Ladros:
A highland region to the northeast of Dorthonion. It was held briefly as a fief by the House of Bëor, but lost to Morgoth in the Dagor Bragollach.

The region of Ladros seems originally to have been a fief of Finrod Felagund (at least, his brothers Angrod and Aegnor held 'the northern slopes of Dorthonion', according to Quenta Silmarillion 14, Of Beleriand and its Realms). Finrod later assigned this land to Boromir of the House of Bëor, whose members had long been loyal in his service2.

Of the House of Bëor, there were three lords of Ladros - Boromir himself, his son Bregor, and Bregor's son Barahir. In Barahir's time, Morgoth overwhelmed Dorthonion and Ladros in the Dagor Bragollach: Barahir and twelve faithful men, including his son Beren, became outlaws in their own land, assaulting Morgoth's forces from their hidden lair at Tarn Aeluin on Ladros' southern borders. They were betrayed by Gorlim the Unhappy, and all were slain but Beren, who escaped into the south. After this time, Ladros fell under the yoke of Morgoth until it was swallowed by the Great Sea at the end of the First Age.

Lindolirian 09-24-2002 08:25 PM

Ok I'd say Anardil got it, unless Joy knows something nobody else knows. Any how this is too good of a thread to let die like this.

merlilot 09-26-2002 02:55 PM

Wow, this looks fun...but I would be obliged if the next one either stuck to the more prominent characters in the Sil, or anything in LOTR/Hobbit. Or any Hobbits at all. I haven't got my own copy of the Sil, so I don't have it functionally memorized like I do LOTR and Hobbit.
Thanks.

Joy 09-27-2002 06:15 PM

Okay, I will give it to Anardil, though I found it in the Sil. He was mentioned once, in one brief sentence. I will have to find it, though I don't have my copy of the Sil anywhere near me.

Lindolirian 11-13-2002 08:13 PM

Well, this thread is just too cool for me to let die like this, so here I go.

Erestor --> Voronwë

Joy 11-21-2002 12:57 AM

Erestor - Voronwë

Erestor -> Elrond -> Eärendil -> Tour -> Ulmo -> Voronwë

other Voronwë

Erestor -> Elrond -> Glorfindel -> Eärnur -> Mardil Voronwë

Lindolirian 11-21-2002 08:01 PM

The first one is correct. Good job!

Thanks, I wasn't sure which one you wanted.

Luthien -> Beregrond

Lindolirian 11-29-2002 12:34 PM

Luthien -> Thingol -> Celeborn -> Pippin -> Beregond

Joy 11-29-2002 12:40 PM

Yes, your go! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
