Favorite Elf-King?

05-21-2001, 03:03 PM

Who is your favorite Elf-King? Personally, I'd have to say Finrod Felagund.

05-21-2001, 06:43 PM

Feanor, he's my favorite character of all so by default he's my favorite Elf King.

05-22-2001, 08:23 PM

Fingolfin. Steady and courageous.

05-22-2001, 08:54 PM

Good question. If Finarfin (Finwe Arafinwe) was counted as King I would probably pick him.

After much decision changing I think I'll go with Denethor son of Lenwe.

King Elu Thingol of Doriath gets my vote.

After all, if even a Maia is attracted to him, he must be quite something, right? And I like the way he stood up to the uppity Feanorians.

05-23-2001, 11:32 PM

Yeah, I almost voted for Thingol myself.

05-24-2001, 03:49 AM

Although of course, Thingol was a little bit of a racist at first (he looked down on mortal Men). But what do you expect of Elf rednecks in the backwoods of Beleriand?

Later he became a Equal Opp. Employer, taking in Men in his service.

:lol:

He also looked down on Dwarves.

05-24-2001, 12:05 PM

I'd have to say Turgon, for creating the jewel of Middle-Earth:

Gondolin, The Hidden Rock. (*curses Maeglin yet another time*)

But I love them all. Each is necessary to the story.

-- Hello by the way. My pleasure.

How can you love Maeglin! He is pure evil! He caused the downfall of the best kingdom in Beleriand!

Angloril you are a Sapling until you make at least 3 posts. On your 4th post you will become a Hobbit. After 50 posts you will become a Enting. After 100 posts you are an Elf Lord. And finally if you make over 500 posts you will become an Elf lord, or you maybe given a title of your choosing if you so wish.

So, with that, I welcome you to the Entmoot!

05-24-2001, 12:30 PM

Thank you, Anduin. (I just don't seem to grasp the promotion from Elf Lord to Elf lord... ;-)

Mandos, calm yourself and read again. I think you got it wrong...

05-24-2001, 02:38 PM

Oh. Hehe. Sorry, I guess I overreacted

05-28-2001, 02:16 AM

One of those Elf Lords should be an Elven Warrior. You'd think I'd know which, but well, the thoughts of Great Trees are strange to men (and women)! Yeah, that's it.

[edited: I just realized the name of the person I was speaking to. Surely this isn't the beloved Dragon of the Vault?]

Thingol as he's presented in the Narn I Hin-Hurin is a wise and generous king. Kind and just. Melian has a lot to do with that. Also the love and sacrifice of Beren and Luthian. He's the one I'd want to serve if I were transported to Beleriand in the First Age.

The House of Finarfin is also pretty cool. Guess it's the Telerin strain.

Finrod Felagund.

06-23-2001, 11:59 PM

Definately Finrod Felagund

Fingolfin

Too tired to write why.

Fingolfin, definitely.
