If an elf is rehoused, he won't be as mighty as he/she was before, correct?

Misc. Questions

#1 Why do I think Beren to be a dummy? If he wanted all three of the Silmarils, he should've just taken the iron crown of Morgoth & back to Menegroth.

#2 the Silmaril says that after Finrod was...

Nowhere else did nephredil blossom anywhere except in Lothlorien & if Melian had no such power, it would've been foolish for her to establish a kingdom to begin with.

Did not Melian maintain Doriath with the same "timelessness" (like of the Three) other than her girdle?

Well I've noticed some people here choosing Mordor but I was implying of elvish kingdoms since Mordor doesn't really have any "fair" qualities at all. So please exclude Mordor or Angband.

As for...

The Fairest Kingdom/Realm in Middle-Earth

What kingdom/realm from the first age to the third age would you consider to be the fairest in Middle-earth? Don't base it merely on your liking but by its beauty, mechanism, & efficiency against its...

Shadows of former glory

The LOTR is obviously a much more toned down (in terms of power & might) version of the elder days of the Silmarillion. I've found some very interesting similarities.

For instance, in the elder...

True, but she seemed to long for Aman very much & for her to be so greatly tempted by the ring & her sorrow for the fading of Lothlorien is utterly contradictory for her urge to go home.

I think you are wrong in this. The light of Aman was not the power booster of the Calaquendi. I dunno you meant that in a literal sense. it was the mere presence of the Valar that enhanced the Elves...

I don't understand why this had a side-effect on her. Can any experts try to give theories please.

And are you forgetting that she had Sauron by the throat only because she had Huan at her side. It was Huan who couldn't be bested by prophecy. Morgoth was a dumb *** & allowed his lust to cloud his...

In no way is Elrond equal to Galadriel. Peer perhaps but not her equal. Galadriel is often described as Feanor's rival, if not her equal. She was a match for both athletes & lore masters. Finrod...

Yes... I seem to think so because she was quoted to be the greatest of Elven women, that would mean Luthien was removed from the picture because she became a mortal. But you see, before Luthien...

Very brilliant post Lord Melkor. My conclusions have also been swayed to your direction, but it seems that other Tolkien fans are too touchy to really delve into the inuendos of that story.
