6 Degrees of Separation

[Huinesoron]

No, no, we can do this. How about:

1. Glaurung the Golden, while young, was shot at by
2. Fingon, who was best chums with
3. Maedhros, who with his brother found the young
4. Elrond, who went volcano-spelunking with
5. Isildur, who had the guards set on him by
6. Ar-Pharazon the Golden, prospective immortal.

That last step is the only one I'm dubious about; I'm not sure Golden Boy was directly involved. (I think it's from The Lost Road; Isildur's trying to rescue a fruit of the White Tree.)

Back to you.

You know what the problem with this thread is? Too many nobles. We need a bit more representation from the commons.

Rosie Cotton > Nellas of Doriath

I can do this in six. What I haven't yet managed is the bonus challenge: to do it without passing through anyone who held the title of 'king'.

All right.

Rosie Cotton - Sam - Gandalf - Nienna - Tulkas - Nessa - Melian - Beleg - Nellas

I am assuming that Nienna and Tulkas have met

That's a good start! Now you just have to trim it down to six names somehow.

Hold on. You said no Kings. You never said no Dark Lords.


Rosie > Sam > Gandalf > Nienna > Melkor > Turin > Nellas


And....this is the best I can do....

Rosie - Sam - Galadriel - Melian - Beleg - Nellas
