lindil has just left Hobbiton.
Ring

Yes , those type of material technologies -but also their singing , lembas ,mirovour,the robes of Lorien. The 3 Elven rings etc.
I am just wondering if folks have guesses as to how [within ME or similar things IRW] are done.
A further example: many people have heard stories of feats of yogi's and meditators,martial artists and Ascetics , some of their sciences and disciplines are well documented. For instance if you meditate 3-5 or more hours a day your need for sleep will most likely diminish radically.Sometimes down to just 1 hr. or less. Rqather Elf- like
achievment I would say. Some people [and Ihave met them] gain near miraculous vitality and a 'glow' if you will-from eating only living [raw] foods , they can work many ,many w/ out tiring ,there minds do not fatigue either - and I know of one person who was a singer who undertook a fast of just Water and fruit and juices for a month or so. His voice, whichh was hardly a mess to start w/ became amazingly clear , again I would have called it [nearly Elvish].

Now I know some people find this kind of speculating useless or even dangerous if not just plain stupid, so though I have been thinking on this for a while I hesitated to put this q. up , but as it is something I am always on the look out for I finally gave in.

Lindil is often found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowdowns Silmarillion canon , theories and discussion Forum
'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.'
