You are correct, Andsigil!

I can't remember if Elrond applies, too. If he does, then my answer is invalid (assuming I otherwise had the right answer) and the puzzle can remain open.

Sorry, I forgot about that one. It's Gandalf, Sauron and Saruman you're supposed to avoid.

Galadriel55 · 11-14-2010, 08:07 PM

Radagast>Mouth of Sauron

Then here's another solution without any of them:
Radagast--Eagles--Bilbo--Frodo--Pippin--Mouth of Sauron

Either way, it's Andsigil's turn now.

Andsigil · 11-14-2010, 09:00 PM

Mouth of Sauron --> Nimrodel

Galadriel55 · 11-15-2010, 05:30 PM

Mouth of Sauron--Legolas--Galadriel (quite possible to use another Elf here)--Nimrodel

Galadriel could be excluded if Legolas' song about Nimrodel counts as a connection, which I doubt.

Andsigil · 11-15-2010, 08:41 PM

Your turn.

Galadriel55 · 11-15-2010, 08:58 PM

This is an easy one, but I can't think of anything better for the moment.
Mauhur--->Deagol

Lindolirian · 12-13-2010, 05:51 PM

Mauhur -> Grishnakh -> Pippin -> Sam -> Smeagol -> Deagol

Galadriel55 · 12-13-2010, 06:37 PM

Yup!

Lindolirian · 11-13-2015, 09:31 AM

Balan -> Lotho

Galadriel55 · 11-13-2015, 02:21 PM

Balan (Beor) -- Finrod -- Galadriel -- Frodo -- Lotho

Lindolirian · 11-18-2015, 03:33 PM

That's it! The thread is yours!

Galadriel55 · 11-18-2015, 06:16 PM

Oh man... That "Yup" post of mine - I was only two months dead when I made it! That's scary! 2010 can't be that long ago!

Earwen -- Aratan

Andsigil · 12-07-2015, 05:35 AM

Earwen - Galadriel - Elrond - Isildur - Aratan?

Maybe it could go directly from Elrond to Aratan and skip Isildur. At some point I suppose Elrond could have met Isildur's son, but I don't know if there's any actual proof of such a meeting.

The thread is yours!

I suppose they've met, but since we're not sure about direct interaction I went with either Isildur or else Valandil as the link.

Andsigil · 12-07-2015, 09:39 AM

Ingwë to Uglúk

Andsigil · 12-11-2015, 07:15 PM

<bump>

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-18-2016, 04:01 AM

Ingwë - Manwë - Aulë - Saruman - Uglúk

Andsigil · 02-18-2016, 04:39 AM

Correct! Your turn.

Rune Son of Bjarne · 02-18-2016, 06:05 AM

Fingolfin to Tar-Miriel

Urwen · 02-18-2016, 01:01 PM

Well, let me take a bite, as I know the possible link

Fingolfin - Morgoth - Sauron - Ar-Pharazon - Tar-Miriel

Dat gud enuf, siree?

Nerwen · 02-18-2016, 10:08 PM

Ahem.

But then it becomes more than six degrees.

Nerwen · 02-20-2016, 03:26 AM

What about Fingolfin - Fingon - Gil-galad - Elendil - Amandil - Tar-Miriel?

Urwen · 02-20-2016, 11:47 AM

I thought about it, but it is never implied that Gil-Galad and Elendil met.

Pretty strongly implied, I should say.

Well then, how about I steal one of your links?

Fingolfin - Elwing

This one is surprisingly difficult for two elves in the First Age...

How about: Fingolfin -> Turgon -> Tuor -> Earendil -> Elwing ?

Rune Son of Bjarne · 07-16-2016, 11:32 AM

Seems legit to me Andsigil, if Urwen does not reply, I think you can just take the thread.
