Nice to see this thread revived!
I'd have to guess it's Ar-Pharazon.

Both he and Castamir usurped the throne of Númenor/Gondor from the rightful ruler Eldacar/Miriel.

Right you are.Go on!

The Might · 03-13-2010, 09:51 AM

Thought I'd keep it linked, so:

Ar-Pharazon is to Miriel as
Brodda is to ______

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-13-2010, 02:37 PM

Aerin? Forced marriage of the evil overlord with a good noblewoman?

The Might · 03-13-2010, 06:32 PM

Correct again.

Legate of Amon Lanc · 03-14-2010, 07:54 AM

Beren the Steward is to Mouth of Sauron
as
_________ is to Lotho Sackville-Baggins

Happy riddling.

I'd have to say Frodo Baggins.

The links are:
Beren - Saruman - Mouth of Sauron - Isengard
Frodo - Lobelia - Lotho - Bag End

The order both times is:
Rightful owner - rightful new owner - unrightful new or possible new owner - place of interest.
