Turgon is IMHO the most awsome. I found his parts and all parts about Gondolin to be very very interesting.

Second place is Thingol. Although he almost gets 1st place for having sex with a beautiful Maiar!

I think i like them because they had "hidden" cities that could not be asily reached.

Did you ever read the description of entering Gondolin? It's in UT. I think you'll like it.

Thingol is my choice. He kept his people safe for a long time, with the help of his wife, but that is the way it is with most strong marriages.

If you say so. He was also a jerk to Men in the beginning, as well as to the Noldor when they arrived in Beleriand.

You only say that he is a jerk because he sent Beren to the Silmaril quest and therefore it send our friend FF to certain death.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.”
As an adjective American is:
1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture.
2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere.
As a noun American is:
A native or inhabitant of America.
A citizen of the United States.

Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again:
1. The United States.
2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?”
The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.”
The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance.

Sister Golden Hair is exactly why I chose my user name, and My King. Finrod is great, but I feel for Thingol, I have two daughters, and no one would be good enough for them in my eye's.

I didn't like Thigol either. Probably because of the way he died. (By the way, I didn't like the way FF died too. He died too soon.)

I kinda like Thingol. He impresses me as somewhat . . . what's the word? . . . em . . . watery- irresponsible (?). I mean, he wanders off into the woods when he's supposed to be leading his people to the promised land, and he sees this beautiful maia and freezes on the spot. He stays there for years and years just staring at her, and then she decides to marry him (probably to get him to stop staring at her). Kinda dumb.

I think I like Gil-galad the very best.

favorite elf lords

i believe that Melain was my favorite elf lord. although she is a woman, she played a huge part in the book and kept milions of people safe. after all, think what Melkor would have done without the Girdle of Melain!!!!

Well, Melian was and wasn't an Elf. She was a Maia that took elven form. But I think this thread is about kings.

Well, the title of the thread is "Favorite Elf-King." Galadriel is never referred to in the text as a queen, even though she was of the line of kings, and of the house of Finwe.

Ok. If there was an elvenqueen, (for example - you) and she was my favorite, I think it's not right to claim that she's not a king - since the writer of the thread didn't think, when he started it, about queens too.

Well, the word "king" signifies a male sovereign. Galadriel isn't male. There were no queens mentioned among the Eldar that I know of.
