He wasn't a guy i was thinking of... But was the idea right?
Is it mate of the firstborn's image? Not Queen of the stars

Gil-Galad · 12-17-2004, 03:48 PM

err not entirely...shafted is a lesser extent of being cut...there now that should help you

paavo · 12-18-2004, 04:53 AM

hmm... It probably should help, but it doesn't.

So I'll take one more guess: it's not Grima. If Grima is not the answer you are looking for please give the correct answer and I'll give the next letter.

Gil-Galad · 12-18-2004, 01:02 PM

nope, my guess was Gil-Galad, you only saw him in the movie stabbing an orc in the chest, one of the original intros would show more of Gil-galad, but they didn't do that, so Gil-Galad got shafted

paavo · 12-18-2004, 04:07 PM

aah. of course!

Next letter is l

Gil-Galad · 12-18-2004, 04:09 PM

paavo · 12-19-2004, 12:49 PM

Evisse the Blue · 01-01-2005, 10:00 AM

It's not Aratan

Hookbill the Goomba · 01-01-2005, 10:47 AM

Is it the Son of the Ring Winner?

Gil-Galad · 01-01-2005, 01:23 PM

Did he meet an unexpected end?

01-02-2005, 01:55 PM

is it a brother of balkdor the hapless?

01-02-2005, 01:58 PM

does it have the title "the black"?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 12-24-2004, 08:03 AM

Is it mate of the firstborn's image?

paavo · 12-27-2004, 05:54 AM

Is it a creation made in yearning for another? Not Glamhoth
Is it the daughter of a golden-haired elf? not Gloredhel
Is it mate of the firstborn's image? I was this close to give up, but I think I finally got it: not Glingal.

EDIT: and if you haven't figured it out already, it cannot be found from the encylopedia of arda.

Evisse the Blue · 12-27-2004, 08:16 AM
