Well, I was going to say their sons became leaders of their people, even though the fathers didn't have this function, but Isumbras III doesn't fit the pattern
Maybe just that their sons became leaders of their people

No, no, the killing part was also true, but it referred to something else. The Rohirric-family part is the most difficult about it, obviously, but this is ultimately what lead me to forming the question.

Maybe that their sons killed Orc chieftains whose heads were separated from their bodies
I believe Golfmbul's head fell down a rabbit hole, while Azog's and Ugluk's were set on stakes.

Good, good. The killing of Orc leaders was sufficient. Now it's your turn, so I hope you'll present something interesting and brain-racking, so that I have things to do for late nights!

Now this one is really an interesting one:
What do Faramir, Sam and Frodo have in common?

Legate of Amon Lanc · 05-05-2007, 05:45 AM

I don't know, being in Henneth Annun? I suppose it's something that really no one else has, right?

No...btw, the correct list is
Faramir, Frodo, Sam and men of the White Mountains

And Beregond not? (just checking one thing that popped up in my mind)
