I think NG is refering more to the elves in the movies then the books. The movie does have darker haired elves in Rivendell and lighter haired elves in Lothlorien. It's a little more complex then that in the books. In fact, I don't even think people agree on what colour Legolas' hair should be.<P>I'm not sure of the red-haired elf to which you are refering. Does he come into Rivendell with Legolas? If he does, just assume he's from Mirkwood.<P>H.C.
