The kevlar were all animate beings under the care of Yavanna, except the Children of Ilúvatar, Ents, and Dwarves. The eagles of Manwë were the greatest of these.

Ok.......

This one might take a little looking up to find. According to the family tree of the Baggins family in Hobbiton, in what relation was Meriadoc Brandybuck to Frodo Baggins?
(It's not that hard, but you might have to look it up if you don't know that much about the family line.)

Frodo was his second cousin, I believe. I'm not very good at reading family trees so please forgive me if it is wrong!

Yay, I was right!

Next question:
What are the names given to Maedhros by his father and by his mother? Not his parent's names, the ones they gave to him. Hint: Both are in Quenya.

I'm handing out another hint because I think my question was a bit hard.
HINT: Maedhros' father-name means "third Finwe" and his mother name means close to the same, if not the same, as "Maedhros."

Hope it helped.

Mother-name: Maitimo, 'Well-shaped One'

Yes! I was a little worried that it might have been too hard, but I see that I am wrong.

Go ahead.
