Silmaril

Sorry, didn't see this thread. They said I could just put my other answer in from the other thread (where another girl asked the same question).

Quote:
Although I cannot speak with any degree of certainty, I would guess that there were peasants of sorts among the Elves. If you remember, since there were "kingdoms" among the Elves and that means that there were probably towns, at some point, at least, there must have been common townfolk. And, while, even in "The Silmarillion", the Elves maintained an air of superiority (at least to me), I am sure that, in order to function, they did need some of the more basic jobs in their towns. So, I am sure there were commonfolk and peasants of sorts. They all couldn't be nobility or servants. There had to be some middle ground.
I do not know what the lowest position would be...

If I am wrong, anyone can feel free to pummel me and/or correct me.
