Then where was it that the Avari were not allowed to go? As mentioned in another thread not too long ago (I can't remember where, I'll have to do a search). Now I'm confused

Well, I found it: in the Why were the elves leaving Middle Earth thread, Nolendil said the Avari were NOT able to go. But then as I just reread it, I noticed that he had answered the question I asked here! He said the choice would be open to elves descended from both Eldar and Avari.

Legolas is Sindarin and Eglath (his grand father was it), but there is a third blood on his vains, I know it. I will investigate more the genealogical tree. Respectfully... Alquagarwaen. ![]() Last edited by Sister Golden Hair |

Again, we do not know what kind of Elf Legolas' mother was.

Perhaps Tolkien portrayed Legolas so little just to make the readers imagine his background story by themselves?
And I also have a question (with the risk of being flamed) - what is the relationship between Eglath and Moriquendi? Isn't this the same term?

Eglath=Sindar- The Sindar were a 'higher' race of Avari, and since they wanted to go to Aman, they can be accounted as
Eldar. They were of the tibe of the Teleri who sought longest for Elwe, and they missed Ulmo's summons, thus the term 'eglath'-the forsaken. The 'Moriquendi', or 'Elves of Darkness' were a mixture of Tatyarin (pre-Noldor) and Nelyarin (pre-Teleri) Elves. Most of the Avari of Beleriand were Tatyarin, and they were unfriendly with the Sindar and Noldor, claiming that they had deserted them, but the Nelyarin Avari were more friendly and they often merged with Sindarin and Silvan Elves, in kingdoms such as Oropher/Thranduil's in Mirkwood and possibly Amdir's in Lothlorien. |

Hehe, sound like the folk from the AIM LOTR chat that have the misfortune to tangle with me on trivia.
![]() Anyway, I would guess that it comes from HOME, though it could be Unfinished Tales.

*shrugs* I dunno. I just invite myself to a chat, then scroll down and click 'Lord of the Rings'.
WARNING: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. The LOTR chatroom contains: Positively mindless fangirls. FG1: legolas is hott FG2: yeah I kno FG3: yeah, legolas is real hott FG1: yeah, he iz. ![]() And so goes on the cycle of adoration. Pureblooded moviegoers, who think any and all books are a waste of time. 'LOTR sux' fools. Fool: lotr sux Otherperson: Why does it suck? Fool: bcuz it sux Otherperson: Can you give any reasons why it sucks? Fool: lotr sux I mean, good LORD, people... And this is just a sample of the evils that lurk in that dark place. But you can meet some true LOTR fans there. It can be good. Sometimes, you can get involved in Trivia bouts, which naturally can be interesting.

![]() Don`t forget that part of the eglath were Teleri too, so say eglath is not the same thing that the Sindar.

Before I put anything in this thread, I'd like to say that some of the posts here were rather shocking! I do not like the Orlando Bloom Fangirls either. As a matter of fact, I avoided this thread because it simply said "Legolas" (and the fear of the Orli Fangirls overcame my mind). And I can honestly say that I never (even as a young Elf-girl) ever had a crush on a movie star. But I also think that some of the things said were ... whoa! way out of line. 'Nuf sed.
From the Sil Quote:
Quote:
those that fled from Orome in the first place were Avari; those that went on the journey across ME with Orome were the Teleri, Noldor and Vanyar. those Teleri who stopped along the route and never left ME were the Sindar (Elwe/Thingol's people), Nandor and Laiquendi. We know that Oropher and Thranduil (and I suppose then Legolas) were Sindar who ruled Silvan Elves. I think that Eglath would refer to an individual that actually searched for Elwe/Thingol. Legolas seemed so inexperienced in ME that I always got the impression that he was offspring after Thranduil moved his people north of Mirkwood and after the war in which Oropher died. Therefore, I feel he would not be considered Eglath, but yes, Sindar. Do you agree? That's all I found regarding the Elves that did not leave ME. |
