King Elrond? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Good points everyone. Here´s another reason:

The elves didn´t need a King Elrond. They all had their own leaders: Cirdan for the Grey Hsvens, Galadriel&Celeborn in Lórien, Tharanduil in Mirkwood etc. Besides, Elrond was considered the leader ("king," if that´s what you want to call it) in matters of lore and wisdom anyway. His house was something like the interlectuall and moral "court" of Middle-Earth anyway, and the other´s accepted them as their interlectuall leader, but not as their king.

And something else: do you seriously think Galadriel would have let her son-in-law become her king?? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
