One Thing in Common - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, you'll have a hint.

In order to be able to know about Celembrimbor, you need to have read the Unfinished Tales.
In order to know about Ted Sandyman in the movies you need to have seen the extended editions.

So focus on Daeron, Maeglin and Gwindor if you're not sure you know the others.

The list is not actually comprehensive or near to perfect. I could add Celegorm and Brandir on it, and I'd probably be still forgetting some people.

So, what do
Daeron
Maeglin
Ted Sandyman in the movies
Gwindor
Celebrimbor
Celegorm
Brandir
have in common?

Does this help at all?

They were all in love with someone who loved someone else.

I haven't seen the extended, so this brings me to... Ted Sandyman was after Rosie?

That fits to the typical movie storyline, I suppose

Otherwise, Daeron => Lúthien; Maeglin => Idril; Gwindor => Finduilas; Celebrimbor => Galadriel; Celegorm => Lúthien; Brandir => Nienor.

Cheers, Legate! I knew it was not that difficult. Feel free to take the thread.

A correct guess. Thankfully it was not emphasized too much.

Okay, I apologize for the longer delay. What do these people have in common:

Finrod
Orodreth
Thranduil

Note: There's not only one thing they have in common, actually, there are three things - I want all three of them, since just single one of them is not significant. I hope this is not against rules, but the separate things are not so hard to think of. So, just try to think what do these people have in common, and do it three times, then add it together. Nothing so much hard. (one of these things is pretty obvious, I might add)

- they all lived in caves
- they all travelled eastward to their future realms
- they all had problems caused by dragons

I don't actually remember Finrod having trouble with dragons, unless you don't count Dagor Bragollach, where he actually didn't come to direct contact with Glaurung, so I don't think this is the case.

Anyway, the caves part is right. I want two other things they had in common - one is very, very, very, very, very much obvious. The second one is not as much.

The Might · 01-14-2007, 11:29 AM

but they all travelled east, dwo from Valinor, the other from Lindon...why doesn't that count?

maybe...all Elves if you say it's so obvious

and all had dealings with Dwarves
