Ai!-Elves & Balrogs
Upon reading the Chapter titled "The Bridge of Khazad-Dum" I grew very curious about the history of Balrogs in relation to the Elves. Please accept my apologies if this is stale subject-matter, I would satisfy my curiosity on my own, but there are no other resources on Tolkien available to me as of right now, and you fine people seem very learned in the subject of both Balrogs and Elves.
Legolas' mortal terror upon seeing the Balrog ("Ai! Ai!"), struck a note with me. Are there specific incidents of harm done to the Elves by the Balrogs? I understand that Balrogs are not the nicest of creatures in general, but I would be interested to find out if they specifically targeted the Elves.
