Rae, you beat me to it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. Anyone who could listen to everything Ioreth was saying and not beg her to be quiet deserved a medal.
Other characters...hmm..I'll say Elladan and Elrohir. Sons of Elrond, they have tons of adventures, risk their lives regularly pursuing and fighting Orcs, carry Arwen's = banner to Aragorn - wouldn't you say they probably have some pretty interesting tales to tell? But noooo - it's all about their father and their sister, isn't it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. I don't think they have more than 3 lines total in the book, which is pretty poor considering their history. (Of course Arwen only has about 3 lines in the trilogy as well, but then she's a lead in "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" which makes up for it).
So All Hail to the Elven-Twins. I just wish they'd gotten a chance to speak up more.
