elrond

Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen. My understanding was that they were given a choice that was the opposite of their father's and paternal grandparents's. Basically they were elves, but they could choose to become mortal, I understood that was an explicit decision that they had to make at some point...

For those interested, the latest chapter is now posted. Any and all suggestions of how to improve it are most welcomed.

In The Ring Goes South it is Elrond who chooses the nine of the fellowship (acceding to Gandalf over Merry and Pippin) yet it is Gandalf who is the implicit leader, so shouldn't Gandalf be the one who chooses?

In The Hobbit, when Torin's company approaches the Misty mountains, even Gandalf had a problem finding the location of Rivendell. The dwarves did not see anything out of the ordinary in those areas that would indicate that there was any settlement there. Is it possible that Ulmo showed Elrond...

Did the sons of Elrond choose to be mortal? Because when the grey company rides to the Stone Of Erech, it says that none but the men of the north, Gimli the dwarf and Legolas the elf could have endured it, as this does not list Elladan and Elrohir as elves I was wondering if they had chosen to...

For talk about the fanfic.

ELROND AND THE BLUE WIZARDS (Title to be changed) Prologue The Pursuit of Truth Rose Gamgee lay on her eiderdown covered bed, her eyes closed and at peace with the world. Her husband Sam held her hand to his cheek while tears rolled down his cragged, brown face. He recalled a fond memory of...

He seems to be the most cynical and having the darkest outlook. For example: At the Council of Elrond, when discussing the threat of Sauron and the fate of the Ring, it would have been great to have him channel Winston Churchill: "We will fight them on the beaches....." Instead, he glumly...

I will have an image or book cover created that depicts the scene where Elrond discovers and reads the Moon Letters on Thorin's map. I reread the section of the Hobbit that describes it, and Thorin, Gandalf, Elrond, and Bilbo were all there. But I must have missed the scenery where it took place...

I've read the books before I watched the adaptions by Bakshi and Peter Jackson. These people here come close to my idea of how the characters would look like. Gandalf (the Nessie-researcher Adrian Shine)

The choice of Arwen to become mortal is one of the most tragic tales in LOR. It causes her enormous grief to part from Elrond and of course in the end from Aragorn. She becomes lifeless when Aragorn dies and goes from Gondor to Lorien which is deserted and lies down on a green hill and dies...

Remarkably little in this chapter, it would seem! There is Elrond's "witnessing" of the Elvish hosts at the War of Wrath, but that is so vague! He describes the hosts "mustered in Arnor" for the Last Alliance, and compares them with the (mustered?) hosts of the West where, according to the...

what if elrond pushed Isildur into the fires of mount doom?

Could Galadriel Or Elrond Have Killed Durin's Bane like Gandalf Did Had They Joined The Fellowship Of The Ring? If Yes Why? If Not Why?

What's his accurate age in LoTR?

This might seem like a dumb question, and I apologize if it has been hashed out in previous threads, but... I find no evidence that Elrond had ever been to Valinor before taking the ship with Gandalf and Frodo and Galadriel and the rest of his posse. He was born in Sirion, half-elven son of...

So as I am rereading LOTR [first time since I have studied the first two ages and it makes a very big difference as I am sure many already know] and I am noticing all kinds of new stuff. One was I had always thought Elrond called the council. I think I got this from the movie when denethor says...

I am speculating if Gendalf is immortal and could not possibly die, what became of him and lord Elrond in the west?

Also, what about the children of Aragorn and Arwen? I understand that humans die, normally (I haven't read all of Tolkenology so I don't know if there were any that didn't die. I know that Beren was resurrected but later died again.) and Elves are immortal but will fade over time if they...

I was on the /r/tolkienfans subreddit this morning and an interesting question came up. Why were Elrond's sons the last scouts to return and where did they go? Here's the quote from the books: The Silverlode according to the map below appears to meet the Nimrodel and then flow into Lorien so...
