Essex has just left Hobbiton.
HerenIstarion, I look forward to your reply on brotherhood, but how does

whether it worked out that way or not is another matter
answer my question?

When did the Elves attempt to look after humankind in the Last Alliance or War of the Ring?

In my (humble) view, I believe they were acting out of their own self preservation, as much as humankind were.

In the case of the War of the Ring, Elrond or Galadriel would not touch the Ring. They left it for some poor halfling to get rid of Sauron. They were too busy getting ready to leave Middle-earth to head back to Valinor anyway.

You can probably see I'm not too enamoured with Elves, especially after reading the Silmarillion. Quite a nasty bunch of people at times! All that Kin slaying is very unpalatable.....
