It is indeed. Well done, Legate! Your turn.

Ha! Okay, let's see about this

What do the Dwarves of Erebor, the Stoors and Dunlendings have in common?

The Might · 03-06-2010, 11:10 AM

I don't know if this explanation is too simple, but perhaps just that they all lived in Dunland, at least for some time?

Dunlendings - of course lived in Dunland
Stoors - crossed the Redhorn Pass and most of them settled south in Dunland
Dwarves of Erebor - were led there by Thráin after they were forced to flee

Perhaps one could add to this that they actually wanted other lands than Dunland.

Dunlendings - the rich lands of Rohan
Stoors - eventually made their way to the Shire or back to the Gladden Fields
Dwarves of Erebor - went to the northern Blue Mountains and later Erebor

EDIT: by the way I thought about the lembas episode with Frodo and Gollum but forgot that Beleg had done the same with Túrin.

It is simple indeed, and I didn't expect it to be anything too difficult

So it was indeed just the fact that they have lived in Dunland for a while. Your turn, Miggy

Not that tricky, but here goes:
What do Húrin and Basso Boffin have in common?

Pitchwife · 03-09-2010, 07:48 AM

Who in all the Shire is Basso Boffin?

The Might · 03-10-2010, 04:08 AM

I checked again, and his name is spelled correctly, it is Basso.
Well, you'll have to figure that out.
