They lost their horses while crossing a river?

Very good! That's what I was looking for. Lommy, you may continue the thread.

What do Faramir and Sam have in common?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 01-13-2008, 07:18 AM

Hm, the first thing I thought about is that they are the "second in rank" after a hero, you know what I mean? Boromir -> Faramir, Frodo -> Sam. Though it hardly is what you have in mind. Maybe the fact that they both did not like that Gollum accompanied Frodo?

Yes, I do understand what you mean by that first one, but as you guessed, it's not the answer (and after all, they're not the only ones sharing this "trait"). As for the second guess, yes, that's very true, but the answer I'm looking for is less obvious (and if possible, even more simple).

Simple? Surely not that they resisted the Ring, for they were not the only ones (Galadriel). Well, they had in common the high esteem of Elves. That was someting they really had in common, meaning, something they could agree on. But just technically speaking, that was a thing other people had as well...

Good guesses - but like you said, those fact are not restricted to those two.

Keep guessing.
