Re: Imladris

I will have to disagree with you, Taimar, on the point you brought up about Glorfindel and Elrond. What would make you believe that Elrond is greater, other than a ring was entrusted to him. Galadriel was the greatest elf alive and she didn't get the most powerful ring.

Glorfindel is much older than Elrond. Glorfindel also killed a Balrog. Glorfindel was completely elf, Elrond was part human.

Another thing, didn't it say in the book that the river would flood whenever a ringwraith tried to cross it. I remember reading it like that. I also believe that was all the book said, so who is to say that it is gandalf, elrond, both of them, or even something else. Argueing is futile, unless you hav concrete evidence.
