Merry -> Cirdan -> Arvedui -> Malbeth the Seer?

I don't know...did Cirdan and Arvedui ever have any direct contact with one another? Cirdan sent a ship to get Arvedui but he himself did not go...so we could put the captain he sent between Cirdan and Arvedui, but that's still longer than my solution...

I am either really good at this game or just awful....

Here's a hint: think Barrow Downs

Nope...because the Witch King of Angmar never confronted Arvedui directly (so far as I can tell). Angmar's army destroyed Arvedui's kingdom, but I don't think that counts......

Nope...

But seeing as I have held up this thread for long enough, and as I am increasingly convinced that I messed up the rules, and as Nilp's dogged persistance is impressive, I shall reveal my "solution"

Merry --> the fea of the slain warrior that 'possesed' him in the barrow --> Arvedui --> Malbeth the Seer

In the "Fog on the Barrow Downs" chapter, when Merry awakes from his possession he at first is confused as to his identity, crying out that he has been stabbed -- he is clearly reliving the final moments of the original denizen of the barrow. And as I find it hard to believe that a foot soldier would be given such an elaborate barrow, I figured that the unnamed warrior must have been a higher-up, and thus known to Arvedui....

So did I massively mess this up or what??

Dark-Eye So that's how you did it . . .

I think you didn't.

Although the link between that warrior and Arvedui is tenuous. No wonder I had a tough time. When you mentioned Barrow-downs, I thought you meant the sword.

The things you come up with . . .

I know. And the link between the sword and Arvedui is more tenuous than that between the warrior and Arvedui.

Oh, well . . .

Sir Fordim, you make a nasty poser.
