One Poll to rule them all, One Poll to find them

Eek! Sounds like Florida..too bad I live there.

Thinking about Cirdan, I myself would be glad to be nuder such a ruler. From what we know of him, he is obviously wise, being from back in the day(he was born or awakened at Cuivenen, wasnt he?) and had been through the wars of the First Age, the rise and fall of Numenor, and the domination of Sauron across Eriador, and throughout the fall of the Arnor and its successor kingdoms. Although not militarily strong, he seemed to know how to set a good defense: the towers built west of the Narog pointed that he seemed to know how to protect his people, even if Melkor having a navy was a little 'off.' His motif of living by the sea really was a protection. At few times did the Enemy reach elven shores, and then the elves had ships to fly to, and as Balar as an example, had places to go. Also, the fact he was given a Ring of Power is strong. And that he surrendured it without any pre-intention suggests that he had a strong willpower.

I wouldn't say so; in Quendi and Eldar, HoME XI, it is said that:

Quote:

Eru had so ordained that each should lie beside his or her 'destined spouse'

and we know of no spouse of Cirdan; furthermore, in the same text, he is said to be of the kin of Elwe:

Quote:

Elwe himself had indeed long and beautiful hair of silver hue, but this does not seem to have been a common feature of the Sindar, though it was found among them occasionally, especially in the nearer or remoter kin of Elwe (as in the case of Cirdan).

now, the wife of Elwe was Melian the maia, not an elf spouse, therefore neither he was of the original 77 Unbegotten elf males. Of course, this leaves us with the possibility that Cirdan is an Unbegotten forefather of Elwe, but it is pretty doubtful that they survived at the time of the Great Journey, seeing that their control of their fea was rather dimminished.
