Houseless elf fea from the depths of time, well maybe, but I don't like the idea somehow. I can see that Michael Martinez has found justification in Tolkien's writings, but the whole idea of nasty elf ghosts wandering the world doesn't seem right to me. Now if they were orc fea... (but that gets us into a whole new discussion thread!)
I'm still confused on the Watchers, though its a good point that the only people likely to bring strong light would be the 'Tarks'. They do seem too nasty to be Numenorean carving, however, the statues of Isidur and Elendil were certainly intimidating and Tolkien did say the Numenoreans were similar in attitude to the ancient Egyptians (who had a vulture headed god if I remember).
Another Bombadilesque enigma perhaps?? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
