Re: Odd Man Out 3

This is just so Falmar will notice it and that we are looking for a hint!

P.S my answer still stands, Everyone had been to Mordor except for Radagast!

Re: Odd Man Out 3

I don't think it actually says anywhere that Aragorn entered Mordor. Although it is likely he did after the war. Anyway here are some hints.

It has something to do with travel, and Bilbo mentioned it very early in the Hobbit.

Aragorn in Mordor

Somewhere in one appendix it is said that Aragorn went with Gandalf over the Ephel Duath in some secret errand, and we all know what land is over this range of mountains...

Anyway, after the War; Aragorn did enter in Mordor.

Re: Aragorn in Mordor

Is Gollum the only one who never rode a horse? Just a wild guess, I don't remember Saruman doing so either.

Re: Aragorn in Mordor

Let me repeat the question.

Aragorn, Radagast, Gollum, Saruman, Frodo, Samwise.

Which doesn't belong? And why?

Another hint: Bilbo talked about this early in life and did it late in life.

PS: Others may disagree, but I think it is debatable whether or not Aragorn ever went to Mordor. In the appendix it says he was last seen looking toward the Mountains of Shadow, but it does not say he crossed them. He searched Ithilien for signs of Gollum but I think it unlikely he entered Mordor at this time. The boundary of Mordor doesn't start until one goes beyond Shelob's lair, or passes the Gates of the Morannon. While it is likely Aragorn conducted mopping up operations in Mordor after the War, I don't believe it says anything definite about it.

The answer doesn't involve things they likely did, but something they definitely did. Except for the 'odd man out'.

Re: Fostering

Yes, Telchar has it -- all but Finrod fostered his "sister-son" at some point, which was "the custom of men in those times". (That's what The Silm says about Haldir-Hurin-Huor.)

You ask one, Telchar.

Re: Fostering

Was Narsil ever wielded by an elf? All the others were.

PS: Someone above asked when Aragorn ever sailed the ocean. He did so when he served under Ecthelion. He raided the fleet of the Corsairs of Umbar, destroying a good part of it. He slew the Captain of Umbar and withdrew his fleet with small loss. At the time he went under the name Thorongil.

Re: Fostering

Aranruth eventually became the sword of the Kings of Numenor. Assuming it was wielded by Ar-Pharazon, then it was the only one to travel to the Undying Lands.

Not exactly the answer I was looking for but, I'll give it to you. Actually looking for Gimli as the only one not to have died in Dale/Lonely Mountain
btw Celibrimbor was captured after the ruin of Ost-in Edhel
and tortured so Sauron could find out where he hid the rings.

All the others were. PS: Someone above asked when Aragorn ever sailed the ocean. He did so when he served under Ecthelion. He raided the fleet of the Corsairs of Umbar, destroying a good part of it. He slew the Captain of Umbar and withdrew his fleet with small loss. At the time he went under the name Thorongil. </p>
