They all were kings of peoples they hadn't grown up among? (Sorry for the word order, my English not at sharpest today; I hope you understood.)

And if I get this correct, I will hand the thread over to JennyHallu, since it was because of her that I got this.

They all married people of another race/people? I know it fits badly with Theoden, but his wife was Gondorian, IIRC.

No one's active, I see.

So, tell me, what do

Finrod Felagund
Thráin
Beren
Frodo

have in common?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-14-2006, 03:43 AM

They were all, at one point, captured in a by the Enemy? (all in a tower, I might add)

Thinlómien · 12-15-2006, 01:20 AM

That's true.

I'm not sure whether you refer to Sauron as "the Enemy" (as I thought the answer to be) or to both Melkor and Sauron, but anyway, feel welcome to take the thread.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 12-15-2006, 07:47 AM

I refer to Sauron, I just didn't want to write him as person because it might be little bit confusing, since it was him personally who captured Beren and Felagund; and in the case of Frodo and Thráin he was not personally involved in the capture.

Okay, what do these characters have in common:

Aragorn
Frodo
Gollum
the Lord of the Ringwraith
Sam

They all went under different identities at some point?

Aragorn as Thorongil, Frodo as Mr Underhill, Gollum as Smeagol, Lord of the Ringwraiths as The Witch King of Angmar, and Sam as a great elvish warrior.

It's stretching it but all I can think of...
