I agree with Glad. Besides it has always been my belief that the Elven realms have been more connected to each other than the kingdoms of men. Elrond and Galadriel most likely work together on any problems the Elves face so even though the troops were from Lothlorien they came with Elrond's blessing. Another off topic example of this is in the book and the extended version of FOTR. When Haldir spoke to Legolas he knew perfectly well who he was even when the Mirkwood elves are sundered from their kin in Rivendel and Lothlorien. These connections are needed for there are few elves left. In my opinion without these bonds even with their great power the elves would have fallen long before the men if Sauron had succeeded.<P>Anyway...back to the troops. It seems that they were all killed off. Yet since the Dundain and Elladan and Elrohir have been most likely cut out, if there are any that did survive they might have a larger part to play in ROTK.
