Why did the Fellowship stay so long in Rivendell?
Why did the Fellowship stay so long in Rivendell?
I don't think that was discussed before... But really: Why? The reasons Gandalf and Elrond gave seem strange to me - they waited for the return of the scouts they sent. But the time they lost in Rivendell (from the end of October till the end of December- TWO MONTHS!!) allowed their enemies to consolidate. The nazgul had time to return to Mordor. Orcs came to Moria from the South, possibly from Mordor. Saruman had time to pick the fellowship's trail. And the winter had come, covering the Redhorn pass with snow. Wasn't it a bad mistake to stay that long? |
