You could insert Orodreth ahead of Galadriel but Finduilas and Galadriel must have known each other well from Nargothrond.

I'll give it to you, Skip... but see if you can make the path shorter. (Hint: one person can replace Aragorn and Denethor).

Imrahil? He met Galadriel I suppose...

Alright, let's see then Yavanna -> Bert the Troll

(And there's no indication that Gandalf/Olorin ever met Yavanna)

Possibly; I was thinking of someone more pivotal to the story than Imrahil, and who definitely met Galadriel.

Yavanna– Aulë– Saruman– Frodo– Bilbo– Bert?

Faramir, then? But I can't think of an instance when he met Galadriel, apart from at the wedding of Arwen and Aragorn...

Edit: It should be Boromir of course! How did I not think of him!?

I'll allow that, although I'm not too happy with the Aulë-Saruman connection (sure he was originally a Maia of Aulë, but there's no written evidence they met)

*shrugs* Because he's too obvious, maybe?

Ahem.

But two only came forward: Curumo [i.e. Saruman], who was chosen by Aulë...

Unfinished Tales, "The Istari".

I think that's good enough, don't you?

So, what was your way?

You're right as usual. I bow my head.

Hm. Think I had a Yavanna - Maedros - Elrond connection in mind, as Maedros brought the news of the murder of Finwë to the Valar, with Y present.

The thread is yours!
