Most Tragic Moment?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Treebeard still had hope that the Entviewes would be found, surely it does not look like it, but the hope remains.

The Elves are leaving yes, but that is not devistating at all. Beautiful things will disapear, but only from middle-earth. It was not like men had much interfearing with elves anyway.

Hehe the very fact that Gandalf is leaving signals hope! He was only around when there was very little hope, him leaving is a sign of better days to come.

This being said I must admit that all of these things makes me sad, but that is not the same as it takes away hope.

(only the hope of Legolas and Gandalf running an entling-kindergarden is no more)
