elves

How the non ageing and long living ( but not by any means immortal ) Elves perceived the ageing and the morality of the other beings of Middle Earth? This is a question that came to my mind several times while I was re reading the Silmarillion. Well ... I got the answer to this query recently...

Why Was Elrond Considered ‘Mighty among BOTH elves and men’ ? One I get, the other not so much. IMHO, Elrond is the powerhouse personality in LoTR. He has it all: strength, kindness, wisdom, and of course his fantastic lineage is the stuff of perfection, and he is referred to as being mighty...

So that is my question, what are your thoughts on it?

I get that they were definitely dangerous to mere mortals, but if the Elves had been left with them for many ages of Middle Earth or even made more of them, isn't there a possibility that they'd have eventually made more of them with what Sauron taught them and tried to stop the decay of Middle...

One might think it was out of fear of Sauron. However, Elrond and Galadriel still left in the Fourth Age even after Sauron's defeat. So, I'm wondering, even if Isildur had done the right thing and destroyed the Ring at the end of the Second Age, would the Elves still have left anyway? Had...

Do elves have emotions or are they like Valcans

I'm sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I'm not very well versed in the lore at all. But why do the elves only seem to sail if they've experienced a loss of something or are called by the sea longing? Some elves lament for the white shores of Aman for years, but if that is so, what is...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they don't. However, I got into a big discussion with someone who insisted they did.

Do elves duplicate other names? Like Thorin II and Thorin III who was related? Or like Denethor II Steward of Gondor and Denethor of Ossiriand? Coz i heard many of same names but different figure. Save Glorfindel. Like Legolas,Haldir,Barahir,Denethor. So, is it possible for an elf, to have a...

What do elves eat? Because I have ever read that they eat salad. But they eat meat too. Do they have cookies? Do they have breads? Do they have candies? Can you list some of the elven diet? Where do they get their food supplies?

Throughout the History of Middle Earth series, there's a lot of discussion about Elven hroa and fea, which are essentially body & spirit. When Elves die unnaturally, their fea goes to the Halls of Mandos, a kind of purgatory. Eventually they are reborn into a new body, and over time remember...

At first all the significance of having seen the light of the Two Trees seems metaphorical, that it just allured to the fact that those elves have apprenticed under the Ainur and learned a lot of stuff before the First Age (compared to their brethren who stayed in Middle Earth and played with...

Weird question, but it relates to the Elves not being what we call "Fallen" as Men are. Can anyone speculate as to whether Elven woman had pains in childbirth? As someone who believes that the pain of childbirth came from the sin of Adam and Eve, I was just wondering. It's been a question...

If this has been asked before, I apologize. I was just wondering if Tolkien's elves, the ones in the book, actually had pointed ears. Pointed ears are what distinguish elves from other races. I seem to have read somewhere that they had "leaf-shaped" ears, would that be considered pointed...

I just wanted to get everyone's opinion of the Elves' fate in Middle-earth, Valinor, and anywhere else the Elves might be. What is their final fate? Surely Eru wouldn't forsake them? We can guess that the ones that remained in Middle-earth faded and or "Dwindled into a rustic folk of dell and...

As far as I can make out, it's generally assumed that Elves are taller than Men, on average. But it doesn't actually explicitly say this anywhere in the books. Is this just a spillover from the Peter Jackson films, or does it actually have some truth to it? I actually think that Elves are...

Besides the crazy things that Feanor and his sons did the Elven races are generally at peace with each other, and although the Silvan elves disliked the Noldor, it's hard to picture them going to war with each other. But when reading the Unfinished Tales I find that the hatred between Gondor and...
