A Day in the Life of an Elf

[akhtene]

Tolkien doesn't talk very much about Elves working at daily tasks

Perhaps they don't have to, at least the way we do now. They didn't have to support such huge infra-structure we've developed.

I've got an idea that elves were for most part craftsmen - making things from weapons and jewellery to ropes. I figure they provide for most their needs + supply other races with luxury items (could as well use them as means of payment)

And being the lore-keepers they probably spent ages in learned talk and arts.

I have a hard time picturing them with a hoe digging in the dirt.

So have I. Being so close to nature, they probably took what the land gave them (fruit and crops). And applied their magic to cook divine dishes out of simple ingredients. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Hope it makes some sense
