Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!

How is this guy still around? As stated earlier in much greater detail, he lives in Galadriel's shadow and is apparently incapable of independent thought. Bad traits in an Elf lord.

Tuor of Gondolin has just left Hobbiton.
+ + Narvi

So the best he and his elf buddy could come up
with for a password was "Friend"? Let's face
it, either of these two wouldn't even edge out Hama as
a doorwarden.

Because he's claiming to have been born mortal and he wasn't. He chose mortality...and also what I said earlier about keeping his wife hidden away in the kitchen.

I know nothing of kitchens and the wives stored therein, but Tolkien's verdict is, in fact, that Elros was born mortal.

Were it not for the special grace of choosing granted to Eärendil, Elwing, and their children, they would all have died- mortal. Tolkien states in one of the later volumes of the HoME that any half-Elf would, by default, have been mortal. The special grace by which Eärendil, Elwing, and Elrond began Elven was just that- special grace.

Hence, Dior, Eluchíl, and Eluréd- and the children of Mithrellas (ie. the first prince of Dol Amroth) were all... Mortal.

For being not so much a King of Numenor...as a worm in a can. Fie and shame upon him, starter of barren discussions!

For obviously failing his foster-father Maglor's vision of doomed romance by being mortal, wealthy and comfortable.

For dying of old age, not foeman's blade.

And for living on the charity of the tyrannical Valar.

This will be my last vote in Survivor for some time as the Latin lands call. Forward Celeborn, worthy victor and independent Elf Lord!
