your question is a little bit puzzling, you ask for cousins we don't know they have, maybe they didn't have any at all!, but i will have to say D or E(guess)

About the Narya controversy - from Unfinished Tales, History of Galadriel and Celeborn:
Quote:
Celebrimbor followed her counsel that the Ring of Air and the Ring of Fire should be sent out of Eregion and he entrusted them to Gil-Galad in Lindon.

Doh! That will teach me to not read the book before opening my big, fat keyboard!

Earendil was still a Half-Elf even though, given the choice of the Peredhil, he chose the fate of Elves.

But I am happy to let Kath go next ...

White-Hand Please stay on-topic

Gil-Galad, "trick questions" are one thing, but questions where the answer has nothing whatsoever to do with Tolkien are another. The answer to your last question fell squarely within the latter category and, as such, is off-topic for this forum.

Please keep both the questions and the answers Tolkien-related in the future.

I suggest that Sleepy Ranger continues with the next question.
