Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
And it's Huinesoron's turn again, of course. Forgot to say it.

Give us a puzzle, Huinesoron.

Okay, let's try this one:

-Indis
-Ancalime
-Vorondil

There may be other examples, but I can't come up with any right now.

Is it something to do with spouses again? Because Vorondil had none.

He had a pretty famous son, so unless this is another HoME XIII factoid, I think he probably did.

It's mostly not to do with spouses, no.

I guess Finwe could also be on the list.

They all held a position which didn't exist beforehand?


They all had royal blood?

Vorondil was Steward of Gondor like his dad.

I'm not sure Vorondil did.

Okay, so:

-For Indis, this was Finwe's fault.
-For Ancalime, it was Tar-Aldarion's.
-For Vorondil, it was Earnil's.

Of the guesses so far, Urwen's 'position which didn't exist beforehand' comes closest.

They were both forced to act as regents in the absence of true ruler?

No. I think you're thinking of Vorondil's son Mardil.

EDIT: reposting for the new page.

-Indis
-Ancalime
-Vorondil

They were estranged from someone they loved?
