I am aware of the role of Quakers, and indeed that even today musicians are used as stretcher bearers, but I don't think there is evidence for burrahobbit to claim his opinion as incontravertible fact. It was not customary for elf women to fight either but they did when they had to. And regardless of being a Maiar, if Eonwe can be both herald and warrior so can Elrond.

Furthermore the sons of Elrond were both mighty warriors and skilled healers as is shown in LOTR when they aid Aragorn after the battle of the Pelennor FIelds - and they are more Elvish than their father.
