Well, the fact that P.J. would not know what to do with the elves after the battle is true... But again, he could make something up as "we are needed in Lorien... Dol Guldur is attacking us"<P><BR>But the main thing is... Elrond is known only among a few. And I know hes a much more "human" character than Galadriel... being not considered a treacherous witch or a dangerous sorceress...<P>But in terms of authority, Galadriel (I think) is way above Elrond. If Lorien is sending its troops to aid Rohan, then why not speaking on behalf of Celeborn?<P>Again... Elrond seems a much more trustworthy and more terrain character than Galadriel, but thats among a few... Outside of those few (the Fellowship, the Royal Classes of the Dwarves) they were both pretty estranged from the outside world...
