Don't mind us, Elladan. Some of us (won't speak for all) just can't take elves as seriously as they take themselves. (There's dwarven humour and hobbit funnies, but there's scant elven comedy, if I remember correctly.)

But, to reply in a more serious vein, what reason would prompt the elves to return to the 7th Age? They fairly ignored Man for much of their time in Middle-earth; why pay attention now?

In terms of the whole Legendarium, would such a return signal the start of Tolkien's end of time?

That's the big question, isn't it--deciding who are the Dark Lords and who the merely human combatants.

btw, I absolutely adore Esty's comment. Do you think elves would have a preferred domain or server?
