Becuase we've already discussed the greatness of both their lords, Elrond and Galadriel...

And Elrond says, in the FOTR movie, that Sauron's eye is "fixed" on Rivendell...

But it's not Rivendell the realm that menaces Sauron, and it's not Elrond whom Sauron fears and hates the most... its Lothlorien the realm that opposes him, the one that keeps Dol Guldur at bay (and viceversa) and its Lothlorien the realm that Sauron attacks in ROTK, not Rivendell... it's Galadriel the one that spies and knows about Sauron's thoughts... not Elrond... in the TTT movie, its Lothlorien the realm that helps Rohan in its battle against Isengard.

So... what do you think?
