The unfriendliness of Elves

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

by loftier concerns I mean the Three, and the knowledge that the Elves would either leave Middle Earth or perish in it
hmm I haven't answered the question very well

Yeah. Elrond and the Elves of Rivendell, and ME, had the concern, certainly, of defending their homes; however all peoples of Middle-Earth did. This wasn't a 'loftier concern', just an ordinary one.

Er, on the side, what does everyone think of my Rings theory? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (the first reply). I think it's rather good, personally. I'll stick by that one.
