Telchar - but Turgon didn't march ALONE, he had 10,000 mail clad elves to keep him company !

Does your question have anything to do with cave-dwelling ??

You're right about Turgon - and wrong about cave dwelling [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Three of them did something that the fourth didn't.

The Precise answer was that Only Bilbo didn't have a son present at the counsil of Elrond...
I will take this chance to point out your mistake, Telchar. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Frodo is Bilbo's nefu. Bilbo was a bachelor his whole life if you remember.

And I beleive it is Turumbars turn. Sorry ArwenBaggins. You answered Falmars question when it had been passed up because he did not reply to the thread for over a week. So, according to the rules, even if you did answer it correctly it would not give you the right to make a new Post. And secondly, you do not know that you answered the question right. You shouldn't assume you did.

Just wanted to point that out. We are waiting eagerly, Turumbar.

Elendur??? What are you talking about??? Mistake ... how can I make a mistake when I posed the original question? Bilbo didn't have a son present at the counsil of Elrond as did Denethor, Gloin and Thranduil.

I think Arwen was answering the question at the bottom of page 1 - a very common mistake. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Elendur, I think, mis-read “didn’t” for “did” re: Bilbo. Anyway, try this one:

Fingon
Turgon
Huor
Haldir

Was it that Fingon, Turgon and Huor were slain in the Nirneath Aronoediad. And Haldir was not?

They all died in Nirnaeth Arnoediad except Turgon. Turgon retreated to Gondolin, with Huor and Hurin guarding his backside.

I think what threw people off was the case of two Haldirs - in this case, I assume you are referring to Haldir, a lord of the Haladin of Brethil, not the elf who resided in Lothlorien.

(edit)
Or maybe it's that they all contain the letter 'r' except Fingon!

Legalos (A Greek elf??) got it right. All were killed in the Nirnaeth except Turgon. Ask away, Legalos.

Actually, I accidentally misspelled my name when registering. I'm trying to get it changed...quite embarassing!

Anyway, I don't know how difficult this will be.

Celeborn
Dior Eluchíl
Amdir
Galadhon

It's *not* that three were rulers of Lorien...I'm looking for something else.

Edit - changed one on the list, he made the question unclear.

Not the wording I had in mind, but correct nonetheless!

All but Amdir were elves of Doriath (meaning they did come from the same line as Thingol).

possessions??? Luthien had the Silmarillion at one time, Aragorn ended up with the Elfstone which Galadriel had given him, Galadriel had the Ring of Adamant...eek! all the girls are related...I hope this has given someone else a clue as to the answer lol

I thought that the obvious odd man was Aragorn, I mean him being the only Human Male out of the lot. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Anyway it's been more than 7 days:

Orodreth
Dior
Maeglin
Amrod
Aegnor
