What colour is Legolas` hair? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

AbercrombieOfRohan · 01-25-2005, 04:26 PM

Excellent Find NIL, thank you immensely for sharing that with us. So this means that Mallapin did not usurp the throne from Elmerf, but Mallapin did in fact inherit the throne, one way or another. Right? No disagreements?

So then who did take the throne? Fea's post does lead me to believe that it was indeed his brother (Prince Johnamir? Is that his name?) that stole or tried to steal the throne from Elmerf. Did Elmerf ever reclaim his throne before Mallapin became king? I mean after he went off and had his adventures with Legolas did he return to Mirkwood and oust (Johnamir?) from the throne?

Princejohnamir, my friends. I was led to believe that it is pronounced "Prin-say-ja-nom-eer", but the reliability of The Unstarted Tales is occasionally questionable.

I have just purchased from swindler.com all the writings of Tolkien regarding the hares of Middle-earth from 1917 up to his death. I am now currently deep in analysis, and, I'm telling you now: it ain't gonna be pretty.

I may be back with a post tomorrow.

Nilp?

The funny thing is, I still am not finish with the analysis. The material is too vast, and my time is too short, what with the ending school year and all. So there.

I'll try to do it now, and hopefully come up with a complete report within the week.

Within the week?

The scoundrel...

Anywho, I stumbled upon a fairly odd collection in a local bookshop: A copy of Tolkien's letters which was published in Holland. It is mostly the same, however some bits are missing and some new pieces are inserted throughout. He goes into lengthy detail regarding a spat he had with a butcher.

Anyway, the main point of interest here is that he made direct reference to the question posed in the title of the thread. Legolas' hair was a luscious golden brown. I, for one, am willing to suppose the total credibility of this seemingly bizarre edition and accept the claim.

But go ahead and talk about Elmerf. The little critter is a far more interesting character than, say, Aldarion...
