[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Quite, Saucepan.

Does anyone else find it surprising that Mirkwood seemed like such a hotbed of hare activity? I think that this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the intense and sometimes ferocious rivalry between Mirkwood and Rivendell. After all, Rivendell was the hare-capital of Middle-earth, under the power of Elrond's Ring Vilya, the Ring of Hare.

I feel that this discussion is surely drenched in Elven politics and the struggle for control between Elrond and Thranduil.
