[Elven-Maiden]

I'm actually listening to The Lion King soundtrack right now!<P>By "He has chosen exile", they do not mean that he was banished, like Simba. It simply means that he chooses to not be in Gondor. In exile refers to any place that is not your own. When Frodo and co. met the Elves in the Shire and was made Elf-Friend, they also said that they were in exile, meaning not in Rivendell. They weren't naughty, they were just not at home.
