In the Last Debate scene, after Aragorn gives an absolutely great speech where he carefully and eloquently described all of the reasons that the armies of the west needed to march on the Black Gate, to distract Sauron from Frodo's question, etc. This scene goes on for quite awhile, until good...
Legolas Greenleaf long under tree
In joy thou hast lived. Beware of the Sea!
If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,
Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more.
What does that mean? Legolas interpreted it as a portent, and so did I. Was it actually explained later?
Pardon my...
Which Elvish grouping did Legolas and his father come from ?
From what I recall in Fellowship of the Ring - Celeborn acknowledged Legolas as kin - so were they Telerin Elves imbued with Sindarian culture from Beleriand ?
Were they descended from Telerin/Nandorian Elves that never entered...
You know Legolas loves to shoot arrows, but the gift of Lorien Bow and arrows and quiver from Galadriel kinda confuse me a little bit. That quiver can only hold 2 dozen arrows (24 arrows) and in the on-coming battles for him esp. in Helms Deep he trully needs more.
What do you think happen, is...
I have been an avid LOTR fan for quite some time now, though I have not frequented these forums in a while. I am opening a debate on whether or not Legolas may have been the greatest of the Fellowship- excluding Gandalf, of course- in the art of individual warfare.
As we all know, Legolas is...
Recently I have been reading the lost tales, and I must say, in The Lost Tales vol. 2, The Fall of Gondolin may be the greatest battle I have ever had the pleasure of reading, with the descriptions and mighty deeds of the captains of Gondolin, of the battle between Ecthelion (possibly the...
(Legolas Fans!!!)
((I've decided to make a quest.All Legolas fans listen up! Mirkwood has been sieged and made into a fortress! the only person who Knows a lot about Mirkwood who isn't captive is Legolas who left M.E ( This involves sailing) we must get to him!
Arten stumbled across the...
I made this bow from solid hickory, its fully functional. I'm trying to make it look just like legolas's bow, any helpful hints or ideas? am I getting close? I use the weapons and warfare book for pictures, anybody know of some better photos?
From "The Silmarillion, Valaquenta:"
This, of course, is describing Ulmo.
Is it possible that the cries of the gulls that Legolas heard were actually the music of Ulmo? I think it could be, because we are not told what his music sounds like, and he probably had the ability to facade the...
How come Legolas NEVER runs out of arrows?
I counted during the last part of the Helm's Deep battle that he had two arrows then watched him fire four arrows as they were retreating!
How?
Does he have a tiny elf in his quiver making them?
Forgive me if this has been answered before. IS Legolas Greenleaf of the Tree, the night-sighted leader at the end of the Fall of Gondolin, the same as the Legolas Greenleaf of LOTR? If he is, he would be at least 6000 years old during LOTR, since that LOTR is in the Third Age, and the FOG...
I have been aware of the fact that there is a Legolas mentioned leading the Exhiles of Gondolin after its fall in one of the earlier versions of the story.
What does this mean? This might be a repeat of an earlier question, but I have not found any others. Does anyone know anything about it...
In the chapter 'The White Rider' Gandalf brings the following words to Legolas from Galadriel:
And then we have:
Is Galadriel really speaking of his death here? I never thought so. I just thought she was 'warning' him of the sea, in the sense that if he came near it and gazed upon it...
I want to see how many people here at this forum really hate Legolas. Personally, I think he is a stupid, egotistical loser who needs to die his hair black and get a hair cut. No offense to Orlando Bloom, though. He is a very good actor. But anywho...Legolas is???
“Legolas!”
He paused leaping between one stepping stone and the next, glancing up the bank towards the figure silhouetted in her own light. Lúthien Tinuviel; the words whispered in his ears without conscious thought, as always when he or so many other elves looked her way.
