Firstly, would that be Earendil the Mariner or Earendil of Gondor? Well, Earendil of Gondor didn't do much. So I'll go with Earendil the Mariner.

They all killed a dragon, except Earendil. But they all saved people. Earendil saved Middle-Earth by going to Aman, Bard saved Laketown, well most of it, Turin saved...people. Well, he killed the dragon, which could have killed many more people. And Fram killed Scatha. I think it was Scatha.

Telchar · 08-07-2002, 02:13 AM

Eärendil didnt kill a dragon??? ohh my...

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-07-2002, 08:57 AM

Did he kill a dragon!? I don't remember!!!

Daniel Telcontar · 08-07-2002, 09:27 AM

Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the greatest dragon ever to exist, so I guess you are correct Lothiriel.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-07-2002, 09:38 AM

How come I don't remember that!? It's not like I read the Sil that long ago. Hm. Oh well!! Woohoo, my turn!!! Well, first I gotta see what Stephanos says.

Rimbaud · 08-07-2002, 10:03 AM

Yes, they all killed dragons. Forgetting about Ancalagon was a crime so hideous though, that I am tempted...

I shall be lenient. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Lothiriel, thy turn.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-07-2002, 10:47 AM

I don't know why I forgot it though!! That makes ME mad!!
Thanks Stephanoes!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Rivendell
Khazad-dum
Belegost
Minas Morgul

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-07-2002, 10:51 AM

Rivendell might not be the best one to use. But it's good enough! You people will get it anyways.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-21-2002, 02:57 PM

Um, is anyone willing to give an answer? It's been more than a week and I can't answer my own question..Come on, give it a try people! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 08-21-2002, 03:14 PM

They were all built in or very near large mountain ranges.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-21-2002, 03:32 PM

Yeah, good job, your turn!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lindolirian · 08-21-2002, 03:38 PM

Yippeeeeee!!
Azaghal
Saruman
Theoden

Orome · 08-21-2002, 08:18 PM

they were all killed

Nevtalathiel · 08-25-2002, 08:26 AM

All were lords of powerful strongholds?

Lindolirian · 09-03-2002, 07:16 PM

sorry to take so long. ummm not quite....

Lindolirian · 09-03-2002, 07:17 PM

Nevtalathiel was close.... very close.

Lothiriel Silmarien · 09-04-2002, 12:53 PM

All were powerful lords that were killed?

Lindolirian · 09-05-2002, 08:25 PM

Think more about the strongholds...

Nevtalathiel · 09-06-2002, 10:45 AM

All held strongholds in or near mountains:

Azaghal-Belegost in the Blue mountains
Saruman-Isenguard South of the Misty Mountains
Theoden-Edoras near the White Mountains

Lindolirian · 09-08-2002, 11:18 AM

Correct.

Nevtalathiel · 09-09-2002, 11:26 AM

Ok then,

Brandywine
Greyflood
Mouths of Anduin
Ringlo
Serni

Eol · 09-09-2002, 12:03 PM

They are all rivers?

Nevtalathiel · 09-10-2002, 05:36 AM

True, but I want something more than that.

Telchar · 09-11-2002, 01:29 AM

They all ended in the Western Sea? (Except Serni that join with Gilraen before reaching the sea..) Probabli not it though [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Nevtalathiel · 09-11-2002, 01:59 PM

Wow, I came up with something which Telchar didn't get immedeately! No, that's not it, try looking at them all on a map.

InklingElf · 09-11-2002, 05:32 PM

arrrgh!hold on i'm trying to think!

Telchar · 09-18-2002, 01:27 AM

Thay all run somewhat from the northeast to the southwest?

Nevtalathiel · 09-18-2002, 11:15 AM

Correct! Your turn.

Telchar · 09-19-2002, 05:25 AM

Odo Proudfoot (Olos father)
Gilraen (Aragorns mother)
Thengel (Theodens father)
Drogo Baggins (Frodos father)

HINT: it has to do with themselves - not their children (just so you dont go down the wrong path) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nevtalathiel · 09-22-2002, 06:54 AM

They all died before their children were fully grown?

Telchar · 09-23-2002, 04:55 AM

its a good guess - but as I said - it has nothing to do with their children... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

merlilot · 09-24-2002, 03:21 PM

they are all breifly mentioned in LOTR?

Telchar · 09-25-2002, 03:22 AM

Yes, but thats not it - think time [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lothiriel Silmarien · 09-25-2002, 12:36 PM

They all died or were born around the same time?

Lindolirian · 09-25-2002, 03:40 PM

Their spouses died early.

Isilya · 09-25-2002, 04:42 PM

Ask again, o wise and mighty Lindolirian

Telchar · 09-26-2002, 07:06 AM

Lothiriel Silmarien is very close.... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] and Isilya the person that is credit for answering correctly can ask the next question - the rules are 'that simple' [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Isilya · 09-26-2002, 03:05 PM

True, but Lindo never sayed whether he accepted Lothiriel's answer, but seeing as Lindo hasn't been here in a while, and Lotheriel was close, I guess she has the right to ask. My apologies.

Telchar · 09-27-2002, 02:32 AM

The fact is that noone have yet given me a correct answer - until then ... no new question . mmwwhaaahahaha [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

merlilot · 09-27-2002, 02:38 PM

Their husbands/wives died prematurely?
