Well, would they really? I mean, when you're seperated from the rest of the world, and you live in a pure place, is there any need? I guess if they wanted to practice archery. When you have all eternity, there's a lot to do

Hint: nothing to do with orcs

Tuor of Gondolin · 07-24-2004, 02:21 PM

Slender Bows of the Teleri?

The other three are the primary means of protecting that group
Green clothe of the Nandor---hiding
Silver mail of the Gondolithim---armor
Iron blades of the Orcs---weapons as used defensively (to parry thrusts)

Whereas bows are more offensively oriented weapons.

Gil-Galad · 07-24-2004, 03:30 PM

close but no

NightKnight · 08-14-2004, 06:24 PM

The orc-blades weren't used in defense.

Silver Mail of Gondolin - Obvious
Green clothing - Hiding
Bows - The Teleri used them against the Noldor in Alqualonde

Gil-Galad · 08-15-2004, 10:17 AM

nope...think of the what the people used them againest

NightKnight · 08-15-2004, 03:43 PM

Then the Silver Mail is the OIO, because all the others were used against the Noldor.
