elrond

Please No Spoilers! This thread is for speculation. I'm sure many have seen the trailer of ROTK. Similar film was shown on the ABC program last night, in which you can see Elrond giving the sword Andúril to Aragorn in what appears to be a Rohan tent. Certainly this is a major divergence of...

I wonder, when 3 thousand years ago, when "Ilsildor" refused to drop the ring in Mt. Doom, how come "Elrond" DID NOT grab the ring and throw it in Mt. Doom himself??? Thank you.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I, for one, am very dissatisfied with the portrayl of Elrond in the movies. He has been turned into a racist jerk! :mad:

What if both Elrond and Elros had chosen to belong to the race of Men? What if they both picked the Firstborn as their 'preference'? How would either of these options have impacted the history of Arda? Is it even possible to imagine the possible outcome of this? Could it be said that...

I was reading some older threads (highly recommended, BTW), when an inconsistency dawned on me, concerning something Elrond said: From the Council of Elrond, I believe. What puzzled me was: How could Elrond remember something of the glory of the Elder days? He was born after the Fall of...

I had a bit of a discussion about this once and realised that it might prove to be a good thread. So, let your arguments and opinions start coming!

"From the Encyclopedia of Arda" Tolkien probably leaves details of the Tower's construction vague intentionally, as it was hidden by a cloud of shadow and darkness at all times. The only characters in The Lord of the Rings to actually see Barad-dûr were Frodo and Sam as they journeyed to...

Do you think that the decision of the Council of Elrond to entrust the destruction of the ring to a hobbit was a mistake? What course of action would you have suggested if you were present at the council?

At the council when elrond had picked all but 2 of the companions for the fellowship, why do u think he didnt pick any more elves? Like one of his sons or even Glorfindel? Surely Glorfindel was a great leader and probably one of the greatest warriors in Middle-earth. Even though the fellowship...

Was this offer by Bilbo only an action of willingness to "save" the world, a duty to finish what had started by him? Or did Bilbo also find an opportunity to get back the Ring?

Does this quote of Elrond's from the book appear in the film? I'm sure it did, but can't find it anywhere.

Tolkien does not tell us what happened or what was talked about at that final meeting between the 2. But I was wondering if anyone had any idea's/theories about what may have been discussed, I just think it'll be fun to see what everyone saw happening between the 2 in their own head, for...

I have a question! If at any point, Galadriel or Elrond departed from their Kingdoms (ie. Meetings of the White Council etc.) would their realms become vulnerable without the power of either Ring protecting them? Are Lothlorien and Rivendell only able to sustain themselves and remain...

When Galadriel is doing her voice over at the start of FOTR she says that none are alive that saw the great battle between elves and men and the armies of Mordor but wasn't Elrond and Galadriel herself alive at the time and still live now?

were was Elronds wife What happened to Elronds wife. She was never mentioned in LOTR. I might have missed it .

In the movie, we see Elrond and Galadriel talking from afar. What exactly are the people who haven't read the books supposed to think? That Elves are telepathic beings? Did they maybe use their "magic" rings?:rolleyes: Did PJ offer any kind of reasoning or arguments to explain this scene? Cheers

When galadriel is speaking though Elrond when the elves are leaving for valinor, she starts out in elvish talk. Can anyone translate that?

Did anyone ever find out who the extra elf actors were at the Council of Elrond, and which elves they were supposed to be?

what was PJ's take on this vital importance??? with Gimli shouting noone trusts an elf and boromir lamenting, it kinda slipped my mind

I'm a little confused about the half elven thing where Elrond decides 2 be immortal while his brother chooses mortality. I know Earendil & Elwing were half elven but both chose 2 be elves. So wouldn't that have auromatically made Elrond & Elros elves since they're their parents?
