A's mother was B's sister?

I'm assuming you meant Isengrim Took, since that is the right answer.

I'd have taken any of the Old Took's children (except obviously Belladonna) for this answer, although I only was thinking of Donnamira and Mirabella when I wrote the question.

Silly of me to forget that Ole Gerontius had 13 children.

Your go, Mr. Felagund.

I will claim to end of my days--I'm an Elda, vy ze vay--that it was a TYPO!!!

Sure. Right. Like we'd believe that.

Enedwaith:

Gondolin is to Finwë

as

__________ is to Orodreth.

The usual skewed relation.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-07-2005, 02:19 AM

Anyone?

Evisse the Blue · 03-07-2005, 06:28 AM

The Forest of Brethil?

(Turgon, Finwe's heir, died in Gondolin, while Finduilas, Orodreth's only child and heir died near the forest of Brethil.)

Hopefully I got it right, this one's a toughie!

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-08-2005, 01:53 AM

. . . but maybe not today.

I'll accept Forest of Brethil, as it's close enough to the answer I want.

Gondolin was where Fingolfin, Finwë's child, was buried.

Haudh-en-Elleth was where Finduilas, Orodreth's child, was buried.

Wait. Now that think of it, technically, Fingolfin was buried outside Gondolin.

Ha. Whatever. Your turn, Evisse!

Ok, can we also do this with events?
If we can't - you'll let me know and I'll change it.
