Silmaril

Hey, i have also wondered this too but i make the point that the Elves cannot be held accountable for the lack of technological advancement, they were immortal and time as they knew it is irrelevant. I always thought of elves as more concerned with wisdom, lore and the workings of nature rather than advancing their technology. After all an Elf with a longbow would do a hell of more damage than an Orc with say a composite longbow or a crossbow...i think they preferred to master and specialise to perfection.

Hope this all makes sense. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
