Perhaps Elrond feared that he too might come under the power of the Ring as Gandalf and Galadrial feared and as Sauraman did. Also I do not think it in Elrond's characater to kill a friend and relative, even over such an important thing- thats just not the way of the elves. They are not war-like by nature- the lies of Morgoth brought that about and is carried on through the ages.<p>[ October 22, 2003: Message edited by: Mattius ]
