... or rather they all refused the temptation of the One Ring.

Turambar · 01-29-2002, 06:12 AM

Tlechar: true, but find one more thing in common. HINT: They all did something BEFORE the War of the Ring, which others did during the War.

bragolheledion · 02-01-2002, 04:36 AM

um is it they all owned something from the previous war about the rings!

gandalf-the elven ring of fire(his ring)
aragon-narsil
galadriel-the elven ring of "air"(her ring)

Turambar · 02-01-2002, 09:31 AM

bragolheledion -

No it was something they DID, not something they HAD.

HINT: Although Galadriel did this (as reported in UT), Celeborn almost certainly did not, due to a personal prejudice he had throughout the Second Age and apparently most of the Third Age.

Turambar · 02-04-2002, 01:04 PM

How about if I added Durin to the list? Any guesses? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Turambar · 02-05-2002, 07:59 AM

I’m going AWOL and I don’t want to kill this thread so I’ll give the answer. Galadriel, Aragorn and Gandalf all passed through Moria prior to the War of the Ring. Celeborn likely didn’t because he had a grudge against dwarfs as a result of the killing of his kinsman Thingol and the sacking of Menegroth

Telchar · 02-06-2002, 02:49 AM

That was a good question - I had totally forgotten that Galadriel travelled through Moria.
Just to Add: Im pretty sure that Aragorn never went 'through' Moria - He stated himself that he had only passed through the Dimrill Gate, which doesn't mean that he came out of the West Gate, but more likely that he passed out through the Dimrill Gate again when he had finished his business.

I think you should give us a new one Turambar [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nevtalathiel · 06-14-2002, 05:11 AM

No one has posted here for a while, so I thought I'd try to revive the thread with my own offering:

Frodo
Sauron
Maedhros

Arwen Imladris · 06-14-2002, 07:13 PM

Frodo
Sauron
Maedhros: Eldest son of Feanor

They all pased over the sea?
They all went bad at one point?
They all have an "O" in thier name?
They all have an "R" in thier name?

Nevtalathiel · 06-15-2002, 03:47 AM

Nope, not any of the things I was thinking of.

Beren fits into the list as well.

[ June 15, 2002: Message edited by: Nevtalathiel ]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 06-15-2002, 03:32 PM

Sauron
Frodo
Maedhros
(Beren too)

Hmm...they all were in some way involved with evil. Or a Dark Lord. Beren got a Silmaril from a Dark Lord (Morgoth) Maedhros was trapped on the peak of Thangorodrim because of the Dark Lord (Morgoth, yet again) Sauron made an evil ring and was a Dark Lord, and Frodo got a ring from a Dark Lord (Sauron). So everyone was in some way connected to the "Dark side". Am I right???

Turambar · 06-15-2002, 09:02 PM

They all had part or all of their hand cut off.

Nevtalathiel · 06-16-2002, 10:42 AM

Sorry, Lothiriel Silmarien! Turambar, you got it right, over to you.

Arwen Imladris · 06-26-2002, 03:34 PM

Turambar? (sp?)

Well, if you want a question, cause it has been a while, how about:

Frodo
Gandalf
Galadriel
Elrond

Lómelindi · 06-26-2002, 05:36 PM

They all possessed a Ring of Power.

Frodo ---> the One Ring
Gandalf ---> Narya, the Ring of Fire
Galadriel ---> Nenya, the Ring of Water
Elrond ---> Vilya, the Ring of Air

Arwen Imladris · 06-26-2002, 09:56 PM

hmmmm... good idea, but that was not what I was thinking.

Hint: Bilbo could be added to this list.

That was not a very good hint.

Hint: think of a place that all of them were at at the same time.

That is a better hint.

Lómelindi · 06-26-2002, 10:52 PM

They all departed on the ship at the Grey Havens and passed into the Ancient West at the end of the Third Age?

Arwen Imladris · 06-29-2002, 07:25 PM

Yup! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lómelindi · 06-29-2002, 08:47 PM

This should be an easy one…

Túrin
Eärendil
Bard
Fram

bragolheledion · 06-30-2002, 07:34 AM

all human or at least half human lol

Lush · 06-30-2002, 03:02 PM

You know, if it wasn't for Eärendil, you could say that each of them slew a dragon...
Hmm.

Lindolirian · 06-30-2002, 04:21 PM

Ah, but Earendil, did slay a dragon. He killed Ancalagon the Black in the War of Wrath.

Lush · 06-30-2002, 04:28 PM

Is that right??? Crikey, it is. Fudge! You're absolutely correct. He came over on Vingilot, and did some serious damage to those dragons. And I FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT.
*banging head against desk*
I guess it's your turn then. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lómelindi · 07-01-2002, 05:30 PM

I didn't know my simple question would inspire such a debate. But of course Lindolirian jumps in and saves us all. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 07-01-2002, 07:07 PM

Uh, does that mean it's my turn?

Lómelindi · 07-01-2002, 07:42 PM

Lush almost had it, but Lindolirian finished the thought. That means yes, it's your turn.

Lindolirian · 07-02-2002, 05:45 PM

Ok.

Peregrin Took
Mithrandir
Hurin

[ July 03, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 06:00 PM

They all were held in captivity?
Pippin - by orks
Mithrandir - by Saruman
Hurin - by Morgoth
Beregond - by (?) for killing Denethor's men

Lindolirian · 07-02-2002, 10:23 PM

No. Think of what each of them did. Actually, I don't think Beregond belongs. sorry. I'll take him out of the list.

akhtene · 07-02-2002, 10:30 PM

Doing away with trolls then?

Lindolirian · 07-03-2002, 09:09 PM

Yes they all commited trollicide.

akhtene · 07-04-2002, 03:52 PM

Well, well... *scratching her head*

Eol
Maeglin
Tuor
Hurin
Huor

Lindolirian · 07-05-2002, 11:20 AM

They all were outsiders coming to Gondolin.

[ July 05, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]

akhtene · 07-06-2002, 03:57 PM

Right again! (what else did I expect)

Lindolirian · 07-08-2002, 11:16 PM

Tuor
Gandalf
Galadriel
Thingol
Elwing

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-09-2002, 02:32 PM

All visited (or lived/stayed) in Menegroth except Gandalf......?

Lindolirian · 07-09-2002, 02:35 PM

No, and this is One Thing in Common, not Odd Man Out. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-09-2002, 02:47 PM

Oh yeah, I'm getting confused now, sorry!

Ok, I was going to say that they were all sent somewhere as messengers, but then I got confused about Elwing. So I'll say.....they're all immortal???

Lindolirian · 07-12-2002, 03:39 PM

Correct!

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-12-2002, 08:19 PM

Woohoo! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Galadriel
Finrod
Turgon
Fingon
