I've never been able to find any information on the birth date of Legolas, though I always assumed he was born early in the third age making him around 3000.If you have information on this Mordor-Queen, I'd appreciate hearing it.Editted to add: After I posted this I did a little searching and found some threads on this, but the most interesting thing I found was a link to this article: <A HREF="http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/tolkien/36517" TARGET=_blank>Speaking Of Legolas</A>The author makes a pretty convincing arguement for Legolas being "only" about 500 or so. Extremely young, for and Elf.H.C.[ March 26, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
