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.

*chuckles*

Cirith Ungol, in both places the person was not terribly happy about being underground/in tunnels.

Not an event though, so likely not right.

Evisse the Blue · 03-10-2005, 12:28 PM

*cough*

Actually I must have been high on something when I wrote that, because neither the first nor the second are events. Both are places, but Cirith Ungol is not the one.
