Because we need a hint.

Ok, so it is Elves.
But which Elves?
When do Elves leave in a certain direction only after sunset?

Nerwen · 12-10-2007, 07:22 AM

Well... do you just mean Elves sailing West?

The Might · 12-10-2007, 09:13 AM

Indeed.

Quote:

The 'immortals' who were permitted to leave Middle-earth and seek Aman – the undying lands of Valinor and Eressëa, an island assigned to the Eldar – set sail in ships specially made and hallowed for this voyage, and steered due West towards the ancient site of these lands. They only set out after sundown. (Letter #325)

I was thinking you could figure out it had to be the Elves sailing West sooner.

Pah! Letter!

Sir, my view of you has certainly gone low after this one. Of course one would say Elves, but I never saw that to be said in the books. No wonder: it wasn't.

Who brought the shards of Narsil to Valandil?

Was it Ohtar?
