Elves and Dwarves...together??

[thorondil]

What would elf-maidens be doing in Menegroth when it was being constructed

Umm...maybe living there. Do you think that Menegroth remained empty until all thousand caves were completed?

My point was that I don't think Galadriel was the only Elf to ever turn a Dwarf's head. And there were Dwarves in Doriath...and it is ridiculous to believe that they never saw any female Elves.
