Re: Yet another quote that wasn't

Well, alright. I'll post a new one later; for now I give the answer:

I thought it to be Aelfwine to Elrond (or one of his kin).
Why? Elrond, for example, can claim lineage from Melian, an Ainu.
Aelfwine on the other hand hints on the Anglo-Saxon mythology that their forefathers which landed on Britain were Hengist and Horsa, Horse and Stallion in modern English. These two brother-kings were said to be direct descendants (grand-grand-children IIRC) of Wotan (that is also why Aelfwine would say 'their' and not 'our' or 'my' highest deity).
