Lindil always has awsome points - a true scholar. I always enjoy being motivated to return to the source material he references and revisit the books. The UT's are my favs! The depth of Elven society and its nuances is facsinating, and makes me appreciate JRRT's talent even more. I can see plainly why grudges were continued through the years when you think about the amount of time Oropher and Thanduil had a wonderfull thing going on - then those meddling Noldor come in on the scene and jack everyone up .... at least to their point of view.

I was wondering - what is the lineage of Oropher? Was he Sylvan or Sindarin? Was he involved with anything (at any time) west of the Misty Mountains?

So, based on Lindils insight and references, one can conclude that there must have been at least a minimal amount of farming\gardening going on to produce the lembas? No ideas as to ingrediants i suppose....
