One Thing in Common - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Would it be something along the lines of both believing the time of the Elves to be over, and the time of Men beginning?

Nay. I am sure there were more people who thought that - many Elves, like Galadriel, for example.

The thing in concern was expressed by Legolas in a far "milder" way than Saruman did. Nevertheless, it is obvious that their opinion on this thing is shared.

They would disagree on this with almost all the other characters in the Fellowship.

They both disapproved of / were annoyed with other people smoking the weed of the halflings.
I don't have the books with me to give you exact quotes, but the situations were these:
- Legolas with his companions in the ruins of Isengard (Flotsam and Jetsam)
- Saruman with Gandalf at the White Council, before he took up the habit himself (somewhere in Unfinished Tales).

Now, that's what I call a 'Downs entrée! It is exactly like that, indeed. Well done, and let me welcome you by the means of this on the Downs, Pitchwife! And you can post a new question here rightaway.

Wow, good job there!

Pitchwife · 12-28-2008, 11:25 AM

Thanks for the warm welcome!
Now let me see... off the top of my head, here goes:

Tuor
Maglor
Thorin Oakenshield
Galadriel

Thinlómien · 12-28-2008, 11:36 AM

They all played the harp?

The Might · 12-28-2008, 11:39 AM

Hmm, the only thing I see connecting the dwarf to the other characters is Orcrist.

So, maybe they all had something made in Gondolin.

Thorin with Orcrist.
Galadriel with the Elessar.
Tuor had... Idril? Or something else, he did live there after all.
And Maglor...bah, no idea at all there.

EDIT: somehow I feel Lommy is correct.
