Elrond?

Bombadil · 05-22-2004, 02:02 PM

hey dol! Correct!

NightKnight · 05-23-2004, 01:28 PM

Beregond is to the citadel of Minas Tirith

as

________ is to Cirith Ungol

Sirithheruwen · 05-23-2004, 01:32 PM

Shelob? Because she guards Cirith Ungol?
Or Sauron? Becuase he guards Cirith Ungol (in a way)?
Or Gollum? Becuase Beregond practically worsips Minas Tirith and Gollum worships Shelob who lives in Cirith Ungol?

Those are the three I can't decide between.

Am I even allowed to post more than one guess?

elronds_daughter · 05-23-2004, 02:59 PM

is it Shagrat? i'm thinking that beregond was a soldier at Minas Tirith and Shagrat was a soldier at Cirith Ungol.

NightKnight · 05-24-2004, 10:56 AM

Sirithheruwen is quite close, but not there yet. Maybe I should clearify: with Cirith Ungol I mean the watch tower.

Sleepy Ranger · 05-24-2004, 12:01 PM

The Silent watchers?

NightKnight · 05-24-2004, 02:06 PM

All wrong.

Firefoot · 05-26-2004, 05:01 AM

Húrin?

NightKnight · 05-27-2004, 07:08 AM

Yeah. I would have accepted Huor and Fingon as well.

Thorongil · 05-30-2004, 04:21 AM

NightKnight · 05-30-2004, 04:46 AM

Thorongil · 06-01-2004, 03:01 AM

Yup. Kind of obvious, wasn't it?

NightKnight · 06-01-2004, 08:40 AM

Actually, yes. They were together the only times they met her (Lothlorien, Minas Tirith & going home, Grey Havens).

The Silmarils are to the Two Trees

as

The Phial of Galadriel is to _______

Firefoot · 06-01-2004, 01:47 PM
