The X Phial has just left Hobbiton.

Actually, in his letters JRRT states that the elves were also fallen. They represent the ideals of art and accomplishment, not a moral rightness. Elves in the third age are not all good. They live in a sort of neverland, trying to preserve the past and at the same time mourning that it has gone. Tolkien sees this as a fault.
