The battle of Helm's Deep: All the Elves were killed?

___________________________________________<BR>quo te:<BR>Possbily, but is this a good explanation:<P>All Haldir said was, "I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell...". At least that's what I think he said. That really doesn't imply to me that they were sent from Rivendell, or under Elrond's command. I think it's likely enough that Elrond wished for a message to be sent (which I'm sure Galadriel wouldn't have had a problem with), & so Haldir included it in his greeting. Also, if the Rohirrim did mistrust The Lady of the Wood (& they did), then they might've felt uncomfatable around elves under her command. Hardly something you want when you're out numbered 10,000 to 600. Perhaps that's why Haldir only mentioned Elrond's message, & not that they were sent by Celeborn & Galadriel. <BR>unquote<BR>___________________________________ ________<P>i agree with that but i just want to add a few things....well first i do agree with that fact that maybe Elrond added that little message but Galdriel sent the "troops" or whatever you would like to call them however in his message he mentions that there was once an alliance between elves and men and that they have come to renew that alliance(i dont remember everything he said so do forgive me if i messed it up) he might have said that to either show that he was apart of sending them orrr since rohan wasnt very friendly with galadriel maybe to show that this was sent to help them and not to cause trouble....(which is pretty obvious they never would've wanted in the first place) also since troops were sent i feel it shows that Galadriel wants to push aside differences between elves and men and dwarves and fight for middle-earth and win it.....<BR>oh and changing subject but iarhen???(sorry if i spelled it wrong!) didnt u just answer your own question??hehe
