Hey leave Turgon alone, he was cool, he liked the sea, he was friends with the sea. The sea is cool, so he was proud, so what, i would be too if i built a beautiful city.
You arent a ranger, you dont like the counrtyside enough. You wanted to be a horticulturist for gods sake. |

You can never be too rich, too thin or too greedy

*vomits* Finrod doesn't come close, my poor, old, old, very old friend. The greatest of the Eldalië was Lúthien Tinúviel, more fair than mortal tongue can tell. Finrod was just Lúthien's nagging little half-witted second cousin (once removed). The poor man was just too far away from Thingol to share the holy Light of that family. I am sorry, but you have to come to terms with this.

Luthien might be more powerful than Finrod but if it weren't for him Beren would have been killed and Luthien probably would've died of grief. Personally my favorite elf would have to be Glorfindel. He's the only Elf that bothered to return to Middle Earth after dying. All the others went through Mandos' halls and then stayed in Valinor.

I think he's just the only named Elf ever to have done so.

I'd have to say that Finrod is by far the best Elven-king. How many of the others were willing to sacrifice their lives for a friend's son? And if you've read the Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth, I'll make this comment also. How many of the princes of the Elves do you see talking on equal terms with a human woman? I don't see Thingol doing that. And none of Feanor's sons either.

There is Aegnor, Finrod's brother. He fell in love with the very same human woman you are referring to, keep in mind.

OK, OK, so Aegnor was cool too. Maybe he got that from his big brother

You all make very persuasive arguments for your various choices, but I have to go with Fingolfin, for having the sheer brass to challenge Morgoth to single combat.
