[Dimaldaeon]

Well since i'm the one who started the whole Tranduil story I might as well be the one to put forward my case.<BR> The elf at the Last Alliance did not wear a helm, the only other elves who did not wear helms were Elrond and Gil-Galad. I assume this was a decision by PJ to emphasise that they were important and so you could see their faces (Elven helms have massive cheek guards) I will therefore asume that the same applies to this elf.<BR>(I know too much assumption)<BR>Also Legolas was alive at the Last Alliance dont believe Mr Blooms 3000 year old nonsense. Listening to the commentaries on the Extended Version proves this. Oh yeah elves don't understand death, this may have been true when Beor died but thousands of years of war and suffering has left the all too familiar with death.
