Lyra Greenleaf has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

wow! theres some really deep stuff on here! now any contribution i make is gonna sound a little lightweight, but here goes...
i think that legolas is implicitly prince of mirkwood, as the son of a king and all...the fact that hes never referred to as such isnt too surprising, i dont remember any of the princes of the Noldor actually being referred to as such individually, and certainly not in dialogue in the Sil. maybe if Legolas interacted with mirkwood elves in the book, it might have been made more clear but could you imagine gimli/aragorn or whoever saying "What do you think Prince Legolas" all the time. after all, mirkwood isnt that important at all to lotr.

what i want to know is: how does legolas make a grey ship? i thought only Cirdan knew how?
