eldar

I have just over a year ago found my way back to the wonderful yet cursed pastime of collecting and painting (and redoing) miniatures. The redoing part is my most recent fancy, and I started with some light kit-bashing this summer. And it quite rapidly turned into an obsession of sorts. Many...

It’s said that there were three unions of the Eldar and Atani, Beren and Luthien, Tuor and Idril, Aragorn and Arwen. Does anyone know why Earendel and Elwing are not included?

I'm at work and don't have my tools at hand, sorry. I've read Galadriel is "the last remaining Eldar in M-e" at the time of LoTR's ending. I'm not sure this is accurate, as Cirdan and Celeborn remain after she leaves, to aid those elves who will still sail west until the time comes none wanting...

I've done a bit of research on this topic and couldn't really find many specific details, so I thought I would seek the counsel of our very well-read community here. :) It's my understanding that Elves value life deeply, which is why I'm surprised there isn't much said in the books about their...

I was in a thread about Fingolfin vs Feanor and the vibe was.... off-putting. Though perhaps it was about some other Feanor I'm unaware of. Just a reminder: "For Feanor was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind: in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding, in skill, in...

Did Finwe marry Miriel before the Great Journey? Is it possible for the elves to go back to Middle Earth after the Great Journey but before Feanor and his gangs left Valinor? And if its possible,do you think they will be doomed too? So, even the Moriquendi havent seen the light of the two...

We all know what happened at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears. However, in the Silmarillion it is clearly written, "some have said that even then the Eldar might have won the day, had all their hosts proved faithful;". I have my own opinion formulated about what would have resulted from an Eldar...

Dear All: Forgive me if these queries have already been posed in other threads. Since I have not yet read the H.O.M.E. - and I love the new information that I learn/enjoy almost on a daily basis from this forum - I was wondering if someone could answer and/or comment on the following: 1)...

Hey folks! I would like this thread to be for those who have been on this forum longer than 5 years for the purpose of reminiscing, getting reaquainted with each other and remembering the good old days of TTF when Jackson's movies just came out and discussions like whether Balrogs had wings...

I hope this can be a two part discussion. 1) How well do you think Jackson represented Tolkien's Elves? 2) If you think his elves were insufficient (either individually or as representatives of the race), to what degree does this alone hinder the movies? Is characterists of Tolkien's...

What would happen if they decided to go in a war? Who would win? By thye way, by Maiar I mean all of them including Sauron, Eonwe, Melian, Balrogs, etc.

pointy ears Its kind off well known that 'Elves' have pointy ears but did Tolkiens Eldar have??
