luthien-elvenprincess · 04-09-2004, 04:14 PM

Finwe.
Both Sam and Celebrimbor left the land where they lived for another land after Rose and Finwe died.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-10-2004, 05:49 AM

Galadriel it is. Good job Evisse.

Samwise · 04-10-2004, 07:57 AM

But Galadriel's husband was Celeborn , not Celebrimbor.

Sleepy Ranger · 04-10-2004, 08:37 AM

But Celebrimbor had something for Galadriel.
Sam was attracted to Rosie
and Celebrimbor to Galadriel

Samwise · 04-10-2004, 08:42 AM
