Son of the Evening Star - Anyone Interested? - Page 4

Combining realities is my specialty. It's a necessary skill with all these elf-lords of uncertain paternity, after all.

I should probably come up with names for Glor's parents...

How's this?

Father: Culdafinde, son of Irime
Mother: Lisseriel, sister to Elenwe and Rameldir's great-grandfather.

Curufin · 04-29-2008, 05:05 AM

Hmpfh. I don't get to come up with cool backgrounds.

Why do I pick the Elf Lords with absolutely certain paternity, anyway?

Because you want to read about them?

I thought of that brother as Erufailon's grandfather, actually. (his mother's father is an "uncle of Glorfindel"). Does that confuse things too much? And confuse generations too much?

Or should I even change my own initial conceptions?

Willow Oran · 04-29-2008, 11:13 AM

Whose mother's father? Blasted elvish family trees...

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 04-29-2008, 12:57 PM

Here's the relevant branch of my family tree (the one merged with Glorfindel's family):
Rameldir - Erufailon - ElenwÃ«'s niece - ElenwÃ«'s brother.
Would make Rameldir and Glorfindel first cousins twice removed.

The problem is the lack of names in my list, it's what makes it so confusing.

We could skip a couple of generations (at least for this RP) and make Erufailon to be ElenwÃ«'s brother like you suggested, which would make Rameldir and Glorfindel first cousins instead. If you think that's better.

Willow Oran · 04-29-2008, 01:26 PM

No need to generation skip now that it's all written out. Glorfindel, Idril and Rameldir's grandmother are all first cousins. Got it.

Then it wouldn't be Erufailon, would it? I don't know whether we need his name, though. I doubt that Rameldir would ever mention his great-grandfather. Or his grandmother (who is also without a name) either.

Willow Oran · 04-29-2008, 07:04 PM

We probably don't need a name for him. So... scratching that previous line-up we have Elenwe with two siblings: Glorfindel's mother, Lisseriel, and an un-named brother who is Rameldir's great-grandfather. Yes?

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 04-29-2008, 09:09 PM

Yes, that would be right!

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 04-30-2008, 11:05 AM

It takes about as much to make Rameldir angry as to make Finrod angry. They are both descendants of Finarfin.

Edit:
It might have been better to edit the previous post after all. Is it possible for me to delete this one, or will the posts have to be combined by a moderator?

Curufin · 04-30-2008, 11:57 AM

Ah, but I see Elrond is able to do it anyway.

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 04-30-2008, 03:13 PM

You have some practise in having your character making my character angry

Willow Oran · 05-02-2008, 03:08 AM

Sas, Glorfindel is currently asleep in a tree somewhere. You can find him in the garden if you like, but he isn't standing in the hall...

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 05-08-2008, 11:45 AM

I'm trying to get Rameldir going again.

Willow Oran · 05-13-2008, 10:09 PM

Nevermind. Invisible and then appearing posts confuzzling me.

Amael · 05-17-2008, 03:40 AM

No one for Galadriel yet?

Curufin · 05-17-2008, 03:51 AM

Nope, we don't have a Galadriel yet, or a CelebrÃ*an, both of whom we will eventually need.

RPing is going to be very slow for me for the next couple of days, though, as I'm finishing up my exams. Monday afternoon I shall try to catch up on everything.

Amael · 05-17-2008, 03:54 AM

That's okay. Exams can be pretty tough.

Willow Oran · 09-25-2008, 05:29 PM

Bumping this. Anyone still interested in playing?

***VarnafindÃ«*** · 09-25-2008, 05:42 PM

Bumping is a good idea. I still want to play.

I should check whether I ought to post next ...
