I am going to use some assumptions here, if you don't mind.


Tar-Miriel - Elendil - Gil-Galad - Fingon - Aredhel

Looks good to me! I'd forgotten the GG-Fingon connection, so my version went Gil-Galad > Earendil > Idril > Aredhel, so well done.

Over to you!

Let me take this opportunity to use another pair of my favorite characters....


Turin - > Tar-Miriel

There's always the 'opposite assumption' version passing through Gil-Galad son of Orodreth, but I'd like to go for something a bit more subtle, so:

1. Turin was fostered by
2. Thingol, who travelled to Aman with
3. Ingwe, who sits at the feet of
4. Manwe, who sent forth the
5. Eagles of Manwe, which were seen by
6. Tar-Miriel as they flew over Numenor.

How's that?

Thanks. Can I ask what your solution was?

And, in honour of your guess from the Bad Guys thread:

Huan > Bereg

(Note that's Bereg of House Beor.)

I can definitely do this in 6, but I'll be interested to see the routes others take.

I can do it like this

Huan - Celegorm - Meadhros - Amlach - Bereg

Or if you want it longer, I can do that too.

I had none. I had some vague idea that it could go through Tuor somehow, but yours is better.
