Family Tree Trivia

So it's one of Elros or Elrond's great-grandchildren. The closest I can come is Tar-Elendil...

Maglor! There he is. Correct, over to you.

So I apologise for being wrong before: cousin-Ness is indeed reciprocal. So Arwen is the great-grandchild (of Finarfin, in this case).

And I was gonna say Maeglin/Celebrimbor too.

So much for me going "All Feanorians are dead! Nothing to be gained there!"

I get confused with family tree relationship terms in English, because they are different (and make so much more sense to me!) in Russian. For instance, in Russian Maglor would be Arwen's secondary great-uncle. I had to draw out the family tree to see where the "cousin" relationship actually happens.


A quick one, with a bit of an opposite twist to this thread:

Who *forfeited* a family for a promise not yet made?

Tar-Aldarion, when he went off to skeddaddle with Sauron's enemies in Middle Earth?

Not the answer I am looking for.

You would usually give a small hint if we explained our reasoning.

Hmmm...Feanor maybe?

Hey, hey. I think I have it. Is it mayhaps Finrod Felagund, whose gift of foresight convinced him not to marry or have a son because of his eventual oath to Barahir and his descendants? (And his love for Amarie to an extent)
