True. Nevermind then. It doesnt really fit.

An idea after our discussion: if it is the Fellowship, my current guesses would have to be Aragon as 7, Gandalf as 6, Frodo as 5, Gandalf comes back but Borimir dies as 4. But we would still be missing 2, so my guess would be that Steve might of removed Frodo and Sam because they left the Fellowship early, removing my guess for 5.
But itās just a guess.

Hi folks, just stopping in real quick to give my thoughts on the whole āThe Fellowship are the Sevenā theory. When Steveās riddle first dropped, @Ravenwing asked me (weāre friends IRL and happened to be hanging out together at the time) whether or not I thought the Fellowship would work as a group. After some counting and wiki consultation, though, we decided the group could not be āthe Sevenā mentioned here since there are nine of them. I know you mentioned you felt that Merry and Pippin donāt count, @Cj_Heighton, however, they choose to become a part of the Fellowship, and their capture by the Uruk-hai is a major part of the breaking of Fellowship. Yes, the two started as Frodoās traveling companions, but they made their own decision to continue on and thus be a part of Fellowship.

Some fresh tinfoil for yāall. Most seems to be pointing to death, the underworld, the afterlife, etc.
The goth bit is still nagging at me though
Refs to: Jack and Jill, River Styx (Greek mythology), Human combustion?? Or literally any burning, hell, legends, mad gothsā¦
Death? Life?
Creation and Destruction?
Stories??
The faded into legend bit seems significant
types of death? but then why have 6 come back?
Resurrection? Immortality?
Processes of alchemy?
Edit if numbers:
If its by numbers mentioned: 716 615 514 46 (1000)4 414
OR 76 65 54 464 4(4 or 3?)
The repeat line is really bothering me
Now Iām just throwing things at a wall hoping they stickā¦
(Has this hit Thornmouth overkill yetā¦ 
)
Hoping yāall can make connections i couldnāt so Iām just throwing all this out here in a garbled messā¦

Okay, I gonna do what I always do when we get things we canāt solve; write done things that are bugging me. Letās a) get some conversation flowing, and b) maybe get some fresh eyes in here.
Okay, first off the river Styx. Thatās a very specific river to mention with a ton of myths and things connected to it. Why a river even? Jack and Jill (whom this verse seems to be based off) just fell down a hill. Why the Styx?
āHellās front doorā. Which hell? Hel, norse goddess, daughter of Loki? Hel the norse place? Hell the Christian underworld? Or just a common name for the underworld used here? Could it still be referring to something like Dis, which would tie this verse to the Styx?
Goths? Like, German Goths? This is whatās probably pulling me to Rome here, as they have history fighting the Goths.
āFeel like theyāve done this beforeā So we have some deja vue goign on here, or is this that they have done it before? Have we done this before?
ādisrepairā Flinter? Robot? injury? confused .com
ātorn apart to build a citadelā How literal do we want to get here? Cause we can get very literal and say they were used to build a citadel, or that like a sacrifice or something was needed before it could be built. I keep going back to Romulus and Remus here, thanks to all the Greek and Roman referance earlier onā¦
I think my out pour of randomness is finishedā¦ for now.

What about this?

If it is the seven wonders than disrepair and Styx both have a bit more context, as two were dedicated to ancient greek godsā¦ However, neither Zeus nor Artemis have any direct connection to the underworld or styx that I am aware of.
