Fair enough. I just wasn't sure how this one worked.
Well, this is the first thing I can think of: Maedhros, Celegorm, Freca. (And they'd have this in common with other people.)

Each tried to take something that wasn't theirs to have.
Maedhros tried to take the Silmarils, Celegorm wanted Luthien and Freca wanted Helm's daughter for his son. Each were thwarted in their attempts.

While that's a perfectly good answer, it's not the one I had in mind.

Perhaps that they all insulted certain kings?

It's something physical.

Aha, maybe the unlikely hair colour.
Freca had dark hair, although the Rohirrim had blonde hair. And Maedhros and Celegorm, who should have had dark hair also had a different colour. Maedhors auburn from his grandfather Mahtan and Celegorm had blonde hair.

Rather facetious.
They managed to touch the object named in the title of the books they were in?

That's rather a good one... but no.
Try again.

They all visited a place where they technically shouldn't have been?

Sorry, still not the right answer.
It's not something they did, but rather something that happened to them.

This one is rather week, but. . . . you never know.
They all got injured in battle/fighting |

When I said they had this in common with other people, I didn't mean that many other people.
Try again.

Hmm.
I don't recall Bilbo losing a body part, otherwise I would have answered that.
Were they all attacked by giant spiders?

Indeed they were.
Please take the thread, Nilp.

Close enough.
Actually I was thinking of them entering Angband and leaving alive (Beren wasn't captured by Morgoth.)
Well, your turn, Lal.

They all had enchanted items (weapons, rings, etc.).

No, that's not it.
As far as I can discover, there would be no others on this list. If that helps.

I am confused. . .
It seems that they all represent the end of a family line (if one can put it like that) within the house of Finwe. Celebrimbor being the last of Feanor's line dying without heirs, just like Gil-galad and Maeglin. Eldarion is the last decendant we know of. (thus being the last of Finarfin and Fingolfins line) ------------------------------------ That seems to make no sense, but if I was to draw a family tree you would know what I mean. Anyways I am really confused and cannot see the forest for the trees. Last edited by Rune Son of Bjarne; 07-20-2008 at 07:52 PM. |

And they have to be male, or we would miss Finduilas.

Don't be confused, Rune, you are spot on. So are you, Azaghal.
They are the last known male descendants of the House of Finwe, down each branch of the tree. I did think about Finduilas - also the daughters of Aragorn and Arwen; but as I wasn't sure F was entirely canonical, and the daughters didn't have names, I just stuck to the chaps.
