Well, Esmeralda was Adalgrim's daughter, so I don't think we need her grandfather...

There is one very small instance where one charcter passes by another,

I suppose Pippin saw Hirgon somewhere, then.

Hirgon -> Pippin -> Paladin -> Adalgrim

But Shadowfax paused in his stride, slowing to a walk, and then he lifted up his head and neighed. And out of the darkness the answering neigh of other horses came; and presently the thudding of hooves was heard and three riders swept up and passed like flying ghosts in the moon and vanished into the West.

You are absolutely correct! Here Pippin and Gandalf were passed by the errand riders of Gondor, including Hirgon. You're up, NightKnight!

NightKnight · 04-17-2004, 04:01 AM

You tried to make it tricksy, did you?

Ingold -> Deagol

In 4 steps, no Gandalf etc.

Lindolirian · 04-17-2004, 12:57 PM

Oh yes, so verry tricksy, precious!

Ingold-> Pippin-> Frodo-> Smeagol-> Deagol

NightKnight · 04-18-2004, 04:04 AM

Of course.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 02:47 PM

Right-o! How bout this...

Master of Esgaroth-> Androg

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 02:51 PM

Master of Esgaroth -> Bilbo -> Galadriel -> Melian -> Turin -> Androg

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 02:53 PM

Sure thing

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 02:55 PM

Alright, try Aerin -> Bergil.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:01 PM

Aerin-> Turin-> Melian-> Galadriel-> Pippin-> Bergil
Y'know maybe we should outlaw that Galadriel to Melian connection... it's becoming quite hackneyed.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:10 PM

Quite correct...
Interesting idea. But on the other hand, we could just use Thingol -> Galadriel instead.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:17 PM

Perhaps Galadriel should be a slightly verboten connection like Gandalf and Sauron since she has so many connections. At least she should only be used in the easy ones...

Léofa-> Túrin II

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:20 PM

Léofa-> Walda -> Folca -> Folcwine -> (Folcred/Fastred ->) Túrin II

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:37 PM

Exactly.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:45 PM

Boar of Everholt -> Ugluk

This is seven degrees.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:53 PM

Boar of Everholt-> Folca-> Folcwine->Fengel-> Thengel-> Theoden-> Merry-> Ugluk

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 03:55 PM

I had Eomer, but sure.

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 03:58 PM

Mat Heathertoes-> Glorfindel
None of the Fellowship.

NightKnight · 04-19-2004, 04:06 PM

Mat Heathertoes -> Bill Ferny -> Bill the Pony -> Glorfindel

Lindolirian · 04-19-2004, 08:07 PM

Very nice, indeed.

Lindolirian · 04-27-2004, 08:52 PM

You must have forgotten about this thread...

NightKnight · 04-27-2004, 11:56 PM

I had indeed, thanks for getting it up.

Gothmog -> Isildur

Fingolfin II · 04-28-2004, 02:45 AM

If you mean Gothmog the Balrog, then:

Gothmog -> Fingon -> Cirdan -> Isildur

NightKnight · 04-28-2004, 03:26 AM

Did Fingon meet Cirdan?

Thorongil · 04-28-2004, 03:36 AM

If he didn't:

Gothmog -> Fingon -> Gil-galad -> Isildur.

NightKnight · 04-28-2004, 08:15 AM

That's more like what I had.

Firefoot · 05-11-2004, 04:04 PM

Thorongil?

Thorongil · 05-12-2004, 12:50 AM

Oh, right.
Finrod -> Bergil

Fingolfin II · 05-12-2004, 12:58 AM

Finrod -> Galadriel -> Pippin -> Bergil

Thorongil · 05-12-2004, 01:44 AM

Sure.

Fingolfin II · 05-12-2004, 02:37 AM

Cheers. How about:

Oröme -> Elwing

Thorongil · 05-12-2004, 03:40 AM

Orome -> Thingol -> Luthien -> Dior -> Elwing

Fingolfin II · 05-12-2004, 05:20 AM

Yep.

Thorongil · 05-12-2004, 05:40 AM

Aule -> Beren Erchamion

Lindolirian · 05-12-2004, 07:53 AM

Aulë-> Mandos-> Beren Erchamion
and just in case Valar don't work...
Aulë-> Mahtan-> Fëanor-> Silmaril-> Beren Erchamion

Thorongil · 05-12-2004, 09:45 AM

Works fine.

Lindolirian · 05-27-2004, 03:47 PM

Mablung of the Heavy Hand-> Halbarad
No Galadriel or Ainur.

Fingolfin II · 05-27-2004, 10:15 PM

Mablung -> Silmaril -> Maglor -> Elrond -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

Can we use a Silmaril?

NightKnight · 05-28-2004, 04:04 AM

Mablung -> Thingol -> Finwë -> Fingon -> Gil-Galad -> Elrond -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

Just in case the Silmaril doesn't work.

**The Saucepan Man** · 05-28-2004, 10:44 AM

Just becasue we can't use Galadriel, it doesn't follow that we can't use her husband:

Mablung -> Thingol -> Celeborn -> Aragorn -> Halbarad

In one version, I seem to remember that Celeborn is referred to as a kinsman of Thingol.
