I agree with you in that in the Third Age, Elves can be seen as blockers of technology or change, but they were not always like that. Mainly during the First Age, but also during the Second Age,... |

I agree with Gwaihir, it is not a question of elven men wanting or not to give up immortality. It is only Iluvatar who can change the destiny of His Children. In the case of Aegnor and Andreth, he... |

I have always thought that Sauron went into the Void after the destruction of the Ring; at least that is how I understand Gandalf's words to the Witch King: (Bold is mine). |
