White Tree The Blessing in the Curse

Hello everyone! If you like what if... games, you might like this The way the game works is, a person states a misfortune that happened to someone or something. Then, people guess the good fortune that came out of it. Here's an example:

Curse: Frodo lost a finger

The blessing is that Frodo destoryed the ring in the process! Get the idea? I hope so! Well, here's the first question:

Curse: Boromir's Death

Now what's the Blessing?

THis is farfetched and i will explain my reasoning

Faramir met Eowyn

Faramir was Dentor's son and he thought he died so he tried to burn him Faramir met Eowyn in the houses of healing

That's not farfected. That's the reasoning you use for a game like this. Your really close with Faramir, but it's not with Eowyn.


And BTW, Faramir wasn't the son of Dentor. It's Denethor. (I'm just joking! Typos happen! Especially to me!)

Hmm...thats odd... Faramir+love=eowyn grabs book time to cheat and still get it wrong

Faramir met Lorith who brought forth Aragorn with "oh that thwere kings here like the days of old" so Aragorn finally trully accepted kingly responsibility((not that he didnt already have it)

Now that wasn't too hard, was it?

Curse: The attack on the elven dwelling at the Havens of Sirion by the sons of Fëanor. What's the blessing?

A very good guess, and quite close, but not exactly what I had in mind.

How about that the simaril escaped the hands of Maehdros and Maeglin?

Perks, you got it. If the sons of Fëanor hadn't attacked, Elwing wouldn't have fled and taken the Silmaril to Eärendil, and without he wouldn't have come to Valinor to summon the Valar.

Actually, if Isildur threw teh ring in Mt.Doom, then most orcs would be mindless, so then maybe Isildurs eldest son survived, and he had a son, then only the eldest line would be king, so then aragorn would never had been king!

nope, and even if he survived, the fate of Eärnur would still be the same with his heirs. Well, no one really knows. It's just a what if. And this is based on fact. So, the answer is wrong. This is something that had a clear impact

Fate of Earnur? keep is mind Earnur was on Aldarions line... so Arnor probaly would still be standing... and maybe since with Sauron the Witch-King is gone so Earnur might have a different fate?

Maybe yes, maybe know. If you want to pursue the topic further, why don't you start a thread about it in the books? As for me, I'd like to stick to the yes or no basic the rules suggest
