12. Yes, I am related to someone seen in the Hobbit.

Drifa: He wasn't (actively) in the Lord of the Rings book, nor in the Hobbit. But And in the appendices. But that Radagast was alive during Lotr, yes no doubt.

Are you then his Rhosgobel rabbits?

Edit: Added a little word between brackets.

Relate as a cousin, uncle etc., to someone seen in the Hobbit, but not necessarily seen in The Hobbit movie.

16. I am human, so I am not a rabbit.

Are you a woman? (lord does that sound like a strange question )

Hey, Aiks! Are you saying that Radagast the Brown is not in The Lord of the Rings Books?

17. hahaha, no I am not female.

Are you Girion, the last King of Dale before the coming of Smaug and ancestor of Bard?

18. No, I am not the last king of Dale.
19. Denethor was present during the War of The Rings. I am not Denethor.

For Aiks, from The Fellowship of The Ring, The Council of Elrond

'At the end of June I was in the Shire, but a cloud of
anxiety was on my mind, and I rode to the southern borders
of the little land; for I had a foreboding of some danger, still
hidden from me but drawing near. There messages reached
me telling me of war and defeat in Gondor, and when I heard
of the Black Shadow a chill smote my heart. But I found
nothing save a few fugitives from the South; yet it seemed
to me that on them sat a fear of which they would not speak.
I turned then east and north and journeyed along the
Greenway; and not far from Bree I came upon a traveller
sitting on a bank beside the road with his grazing horse beside him.
It was Radagast the Brown, who at one time dwelt at
Rhosgobel, near the borders of Mirkwood. He is one of my
order, but I had not seen him for many a year.
'"Gandalf!" he cried. "I was seeking you. But I am a
stranger in these parts. All I knew was that you might
be found in a wild region with the uncouth name of
Shire."
'"Your information was correct," I said. "But do not put
it that way, if you meet any of the inhabitants. You are near
the borders of the Shire now. And what do you want with
me? It must be pressing. You were never a traveller, unless
driven by great need."
'"I have an urgent errand," he said. "My news is evil."
Then he looked about him, as if the hedges might have ears.
"Nazgul," he whispered. "The Nine are abroad again. They
have crossed the River secretly and are moving westward.
They have taken the guise of riders in black."
'I knew then what I had dreaded without knowing it.
'"The enemy must have some great need or purpose,"
said Radagast; "but what it is that makes him look to these
distant and desolate parts, I cannot guess."
'"What do you mean?" said I.
'"I have been told that wherever they go the Riders ask
for news of a land called Shire."
'"The Shire," I said; but my heart sank. For even the Wise
might fear to withstand the Nine, when they are gathered
together under their fell chieftain. A great king and sorcerer
he was of old, and now he wields a deadly fear. "Who told
you, and who sent you?" I asked.
'"Saruman the White," answered Radagast. "And he told
me to say that if you feel the need, he will help; but you must
seek his aid at once, or it will be too late."
'And that message brought me hope. For Saruman the
White is the greatest of my order. Radagast is, of course, a
worthy Wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue; and
he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds are especially
his friends. But Saruman has long studied the arts of the
Enemy himself, and thus we have often been able to forestall
him. It was by the devices of Saruman that we drove him from
Dol Guldur. It might be that he had found some weapons that
would drive back the Nine.
'"I will go to Saruman," I said.
'"Then you must go now," said Radagast; "for I have
wasted time in looking for you, and the days are running
short. I was told to find you before Midsummer, and that is
now here. Even if you set out from this spot, you will hardly
reach him before the Nine discover the land that they seek.
I myself shall turn back at once." And with that he mounted
and would have ridden straight off.
'"Stay a moment!" I said. "We shall need your help, and
the help of all things that will give it. Send out messages to
all the beasts and birds that are your friends. Tell them to
bring news of anything that bears on this matter to Saruman
and Gandalf. Let messages be sent to Orthanc."
'"I will do that," he said, and rode off as if the Nine were after him.

Are you a Northman?

Also, if I might wade into the confusion that seems to be here. When Rivvy asked if the person in question was alive during the War of the Ring, Drifa answered that they were not present, which seems to me to say that no, they were not alive during the War of the Ring, they had died earlier. Aik's guess of Rhadagast might have suggested that she misunderstood "they were not present" as "they did not take an active part or they were not involved" which, again, does not seem to be the correct interpterion of Drifa's answer.

Does that make any sort of sense?

Thanks, Frost!

You are correct, Aik. I didn't even know that was still a rule. Didn't you use UT in your long guess? Any hoot, the floor is open then. My apologies, folks!

Mind you; we really should allow other books into the game. It is fun to learn and read about Tolkien and his work.

Thanks, Aik. I will stick to the rules for now. Until the rule changes, the floor is open.

With this thread nearing a thousand replies, might I suggest we do one more round (perhaps @Rivvy Elf, @Eldy Dunami, or @Androthelm would like the final go?) and then we make a new thread with a broader list of materials we can use as a source?

Sounds like a good idea to me!

I'm glad to take the last round, then we can move over to a new thread!

For our grand finale... Where am I?

Are you a location we've seen depicted in film or television?

Are you located in Middle-earth?

Are you a forest?
