<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> BTW, wasn't Elrond just a herald? Why would Isildur, a leader of Men, listen to a herald? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Even if he was a herald (can't remember that part as well as I should.. I need to re-read LotR), Elrond still was an elf and related to Isildur. Even if Isildur was Leader of Men, Elrond still ought to have some authority. But, in his own mind, Isildur could well have thought that 'he is just a herald' or something like that, but that is no more valid than Gollum's birthdaypresent. Hmm.. Take it or leave it, your choice..
