Nice flier! Perhaps with Rivendell we see a bit of the Greek idea of Xenia, in fact I notice a lot of places and people in Middle-earth show some of the idea. Xenia involves taking in a person, finding out about them, giving them food and drink, and entertaining them. There is also a gift exchange and the person who was the guest would show the person that was the host the same hospitality should that person come around where they live.
