What about this? : Both of them left the place where they had been born and spent their formative years and went to live somewhere else in their early twenties.
Frodo left Buckland and moved to Bag End, Hobbiton to live with Bilbo; Nienor left Hithlum (with Morwen) and moved to Thingol's court in Doriath. He was 22 at the time, she 20 or 21.

No, although really a very nice try. I could as well accept that, because it's really good, but it's not the thing I have been looking for.

Okay, a hint: the question is made intentionally a bit more distant, so look around closer at those who were close to them.

Does it have anything to do with Eagles? Nienor's father and uncle were rescued from peril by Eagles, as was Frodo's guardian, Bilbo.

Nope, but you are right in focusing at Bilbo, for example. Now I think it should be a bit easier to find the thing.

I read that as "Now I think it should be a bit easier to find the ring."

But anyway, hmm....

Of course it should be easier to find the Ring if you focus on Bilbo, you silly Riders should have realised it a long time ago...

They both attended awesome parties thrown by relatives... I know it isn't right but I wanted to bump the thread
