Elrond and Galadriel have 2 of the 3 Elven rings of power. Gandalf had the third one.
Scene:
Council of Rivendell, where Frodo, Gimli, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Boromir, Gandalf, Legolas and Elrond are all at, trying to decide what to do about the One Ring:
-Gimli smashes his axe into the One Ring, the axe disintergrating-
Elrond: Who will take the One Ring into Mordor?
Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor; not with 10,000 men could you do this!
-Big argument breaks out-
Gimli: I'll be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf!
-Big argument rages on-
Frodo: I will take it! I will take the Ring to Mt. Doom! No...for I do not know the way.
-Gandalf gets that worried, concerned look on his face and turns to look at Frodo-
Gandalf: I will help you on this quest.
-All the others volunteer to help Frodo walk into Mordor-
Elrond: Nine companions...the Fellowship of the Ring!
-Gandalf raises an eyebrow and gives Elrond a cross look-
Gandalf: Get your head outta your netherregions, you damn dirty Elf! -Gandalf looks at the rest of the group- What are you grinnin' at, Legolas? Fool Elves! The two of you can go prancin' into Mordor. -Gandalf dismisses everyone else, and sends Elrond and Legolas walking off towards Mordor.-
-Gandalf calls Frodo and Gimli back.-
Gandalf: Gimli, we need a meatshield. Frodo, you got the quest item. -Gandalf summons Landroval, Meneldor and Gwaihir.- OK! Everyone set? Nice mithril armor, Frodo...oh, and Sting, great. Lead singer of the Police will provide us with some epic tunage on our flight. OK, mount up! We're off to Mordor!
-Cue Roxanne and Message in a Bottle-
-Gandalf, Gimli and Frodo mount up on the Great Eagles, fly off to Mordor and then walk into the Dark Lands of Sauron. Gimli kills 10,000 orcs, earning the epic titles Army of One, Orcish Army Decimator, Genocide of the Orcs, and a tshirt that says: I walked into Mordor and all I got was this lousy tshirt! Yeah, Frodo and Gandalf got tshirts, also. All three of them make their way to Mt. Doom, where Frodo drops the One Ring into the fiery chasm of lava and magma. Gandalf kept Sauron's "Eye" blinded the whole time, and Gimli smashed some orc heads and then rocks when the orc horde ran out. The Eagles kept the Nazgul at bay by singing their epic song "Hotel California" and when Mt. Doom started erupting, evacuated the trio of epic heroes from Mordor.-
-Elrond and Legolas, while walking towards Mordor, are captured by Saruman and tortured with an endless loop of Barney the Dinosaur's "I Love You" song. The song is a double-edged blade for Saruman, however: instead of driving the two elves insane, they actually sing along to it the entire time, Saruman is driven beyond insanity and does a triple somersault three-quarter twist and double backflip head dive off the tower of Orthanc. Elrond and Legolas make a wrong turn at Albuquerque, however, and are last seen wandering through the Fangorn Forest. Treebeard tells anyone that will listen that two elves had wandered into the woods, and the Ents would have none of that, so they dropkicked them out like one would do to annoying, little, ankle biting mini-chihuahuas that polevault on sticks because they don't know how to run with sticks in their mouths the right way.-
-Aragorn and Boromir ride back to Gondor, but on the way there, Boromir is turned into an orcish pincushion because he left his shield propped up against a tree in Lothlorien. Aragorn kills those orcs, makes it back to Gondor where Boromir's dad, played by John Noble, of course, goes all insane-asylum on his other son, Faramir. Pippin had just happened to be heading that way, saved Faramir's life, and Aragorn was crowned king. Pippin then walked back to the Shire, and along the way encountered Sam who was going on about "Don't you take your eyes off him, Samwise Gamgee!" Pippin just shrugged, and went back to his walk, but he did turn around to see Sam walking into a river after some make-believe object. Noticing that Sam suddenly disappeared under the water, Pippin figured the fat hobbit was using some new-fangled fishing technique, so Pippin grabbed a piece of Yew wood just lying around, and carved himself a quick fishin' pole. He inadvertently saved Sam's life when he cast his line into the water. Pippin tells Sam that Frodo's fate is no longer in their hands, and the two make their way back to the Shire. Along the way, they spot Liv Tyler riding off in the opposite direction, seemingly being chased by imaginary Riders in Black and carrying a sack of Idaho potatoes. Pippin gives Sam the twirling finger at the side of the head crazy indication and points at Liv. Sam gets a good chuckle out of it. They make it back to the Shire, where Sam gets his hobbit groove on, marries Rosie and has a gaggle of hobbit-kids.-
-Merry decided to go see the lands of Rohan, where Wormtongue had a spell on Theodan. Merry barged in on Wormtongue when the slimebag was trying to make Eowyn all scared or whatever, and kicked him in the shin, thus breaking Wormtongue's spell on Theodan. Theodan had Wormtongue drawn and quartered, whipped, hamstrung, sliced, diced, some other brutal tortures bestowed on the sniveling coward that are too terrible to mention anywhere on the Middle-Earth interwebz ran by the wicked Spiders, hung and decapitated. By the time of Middle-Earth War II, Wormtongue was seen by a one Professor Broom in the highlands trying to summon some "Seven Gods of Chaos" but instead Hellboy escaped the portal and Wormtongue was violently consumed by the portal. We all know how that movie ends, too. Somehow the Witch King of Angmar survived the destruction of the One Ring and Sauron, but Merry and Eowyn duo'd his instance and two-shotted the punk, because, of course, he was the end boss, and they had their epic First Age Legendary Items pimped out with every legacy they could grind out. Eowyn went on to marry Hellboy in an epic goth/punk/steampunk/anti-establishment-esque wedding ceremony. Merry walked back to the Shire where he took up the fine art of politics, being elected Prime Minister eight times in a row.-
-Gandalf, Gimli and Frodo, having just destroyed the One Ring and Sauron forever and ever, took a vacation to the Mines of Moria. The Balrog was standing at the other end of the Bridge of Khazad Dum, waiting for Gandalf, however. Gandalf ran across the bridge, staff & sword in hand, slammed his staff against the bridge and said "YOU...SHALL PAY!" The Balrog then pulled out its wallet 'cause it really wanted to play LOTRO, even getting a liftetime membership while it was still available. Frodo and Gimli stood safely near the exit of Moria, snickering the whole time. Gandalf grinned at the Balrog, and said "HA! Fooled you!" then casted a shield incantation around himself. The Balrog was a bit miffed, to say the least, cracking its whip against Gandalf's shield, and Gandalf appropriately announced "YOU...SHALL NOT...PASS!" The bridge then crumbled under the Balrog's feet, sending the demon of the ancient world plummeting to its DOOM because, you guessed it, the silly bugger forgot it had wings and could fly. Oh, and Gandalf epicly dodged the Balrog's whip, and instead of being pulled off the bridge, he casted another spell and floated to the bottom of the pit where he slayed the Balrog and became Gandalf the White. Upon reaching level 9,999 after the epic kill, Gandalf simply jumped back up into Moria, repaired the Bridge of Khazad Dum with a cantrip spell and the trio made the 4 day journey through Moria. Gimli then proceeded to earn the rest of his epic titles for slaying the entire race of Orcs and Goblins, wiping them and their ilk off the face of Arda. Frodo noticed Gollum was following them all, and told Gandalf "To the Shadow with Bilbo's pity!", and the two engaged in a little hobbit duel. Gollum bit off Frodo's index finger, thinking of it as a hotdog, 'cause, well Smeagol was hungry and whining and wouldn't shut up and Gollum thought it was a cool thing to do anyway. Frodo then tossed Gollum down the well in Balin's tombchamber, and Gollum became perma-dead. Gandalf read the book that he peeled from the skeletal fingers of a dead dwarf in the chamber, and a cave troll stormed into the chamber, where Gimli simply chopped its head off after rolling a 20 on a d20 dice - CRITICAL HIT! It took all three of them to kill the Watcher in the Water, though, since they didn't have the bows of Legolas and Aragorn. Gandalf and Gimli tossed Frodo at the Watcher as bait, and the Watcher dropped Frodo towards its mouth but Frodo had Sting at the ready, plunging the lead singer of the Police straight into the Watchers throat, his spiky hair impaling the Watcher to death.-
When everyone made it safely back to the Shire, except Boromir 'cause he was dead, Aragorn 'cause he was busy ruling Gondor as king, and Eowyn 'cause she was all married to Hellboy, the hobbits raided Farmer Maggot's crop and got barrels upon barrels of Old Tobey pipeweed, and Gimli sent a shipment of the finest dwarven brews from Helm's Deep for the epic party in the Shire. Gandalf pronounced to all of Middle-Earth that the Dark Lords Sauron, his whimp sidekick Saruman, and the Dark Elf Lord Elrond had all perished, and everyone cheered. Cate Blanchett makes a cameo, asking if this was the road to the Grey Havens, where she would go off into the west and diminish, and forever be known as Galadriel. Gandalf nodded to her, telling her yes it was, but she was on the road north to Evenswim, where she would rule Annunimas for all eternity. Then, Frodo read the kill statistics to the Shire, announcing Gimli as the winner of his and Legolas' contest of orc slaying...Gimli: The entire orc and goblin population, Legolas: 0, cause, well, he died from Treebeard's dropkick. Treebeard showed up and confirmed that Legolas got ONE orc, because Legolas' lifeless body speared an orc just standing around. Even though it was a stunt double just dressed up like an orc, it still counted for something, so Gandalf allowed it. Gandalf then said the dwarves were the most epic race of all Middle-Earth, and that they would forever more live in Middle-Earth, Masters of the Universe, but they couldn't use Castle Greyskull for their drunken parties. Eomer would later be typecast as He-Man, in the Eriador Films production of He-Man & The Masters of the Universe: The Dwarves Kill Skeletor and He-Man Goes To Tahiti.
Gandalf, Bilbo and Frodo then sailed off into the West with Cirdan the Shipwright, sending postcards from Valar every Christmas. After all, they started the Great Eagle Postal Service.

Reason: For posterity!
Do you see a resemblance between Men and Americans, Elves and French (maybe Japanese), Hobbits and Irish, and Dwarves and Russians. Maybe Tolkien used these nationalities as influences. If so, we can better understand each of them if we knew more about today's world.
Short answer, no, but can understand the train of thought. Suggest reading the histories and letters to inform this question.
I would like to submit into evidence a few bad-### elves.
First, there is Feanor. He made probably the most awesome jewelry ever, called the Silmarils. Also, he and his army went and kicked the poop out of Morgoth, you know, Sauron's boss? Morgoth's army was made up of balrogs (those things where one of them chased all of Durin's folk from Moria), giant spiders, and dragons. Yeah, Feanor was killed in the battle, but it only took a few balrogs to do it.
Another is Glorfindel. He was able to kill a balrog by himself. Yeah, it may have killed him in the process, but he didn't let a little thing like death keep him down. He up and went back to Middle Earth and later chased off some wringraiths in the Third Age, saving Frodo's furry little feet and therefore all of Middle Earth.
Last is Fingolfin. This guy was so bad-### I'm just going to copy and paste the wikipedia article so you can read it:
"After defeating the Orcs in the Dagor Aglareb, Fingolfin maintained the Siege of Angband for nearly 400 years. But the Siege was ended by Morgoth's sudden assaults in the Dagor Bragollach, and many peoples of Beleriand fled. When Fingolfin learned of this, and received false report that his allies had been routed on all fronts, he became filled with wrath and despair. He immediately took his horse Rochallor and sword Ringil, and rode alone to Angband. All enemies fled from him, fearing his anger, and mistaking him in his fury for Oromë, the Vala patron of hunters.
He smote the gates of Angband and challenged Morgoth to single combat. Though Morgoth feared Fingolfin (of all the Valar, Morgoth was the only one to know fear), he had to accept the challenge — or face shame in the eyes of his servants. Seven times Fingolfin wounded Morgoth and seven times Morgoth cried in pain, and seven times the host of Morgoth wailed in anguish, but he could not be slain for he was one of the Valar.
Whenever Morgoth attacked, Fingolfin would evade, avoiding Morgoth's weapon Grond as it would crack the ground. Eventually, however, Fingolfin grew weary and stumbled on a crater. Then Morgoth pinned Fingolfin with his foot, and killed him, but not before the king, with his last act of defiance, hewed at Morgoth's foot. Morgoth, from thence forward, always walked with a limp. An enraged Morgoth sought to desecrate the body of the valiant king but Thorondor, Lord of Eagles flew down and raked Morgoth's eyes, and carried Fingolfin's body away to be placed on a cliff overlooking Gondolin. Later Turgon built a cairn over the remains of his father."
I know, I know, there were some bad-### dwarves, but to say that the elves are a bunch of nambie-pambie tree huggers is ignorant.
JUST KIDDING!! It's actually...
-Dwarf
-Hobbit
-Female Elves
-Women
-Voldemort
-Gollum
-Sauron
-Men
-Everything else in the world.
-*Male* Elves.
anyone else find it wierd that he put his own race beneath sauron?

In my version, Michael Clark Duncan does a stunt-double voiceover for Gandalf (so he can say "Get your head outta your netherregions, you damn dirty Elf!") He is then casted to portray a troll, gettin' chopped in two by Gimli!
Yes, if you want, you can use the "Great Eagle Postal Service" for a kin name.
Oh and you're welcome for that!
This thread proves how whiny elves are and how utterly awesome dwarves are.
In response to the earlier post about bad-### elves, you are absolutely correct. But that was first-age elves, which were all bro-tier. The elves we run into now, especially in places like Bree and the Pony (seriously, what are they doing there? Elves don't go to places like that!), however... let's just say they're a different story, worthy of every gallon of magma we pump into their forests.
Check out my blog! Kinda inactive, but there's some good stuff on RP in there. Anti-lore RPers, check it out for raegtiems.
Stop with the racial remarks, guys. I don't care if it is in-game or otherwise. It is cruel, unnecessary and inflammatory. I can't stand it when people say that one race is better than another. Every race has its strengths and weaknesses. Every race has its classes that go with them. You don't see a dwarf loremaster, and you don't see a hobbit champion. If you don't like a middle earth race, then don't play it, but don't put me down because I happen to play and elf.

Your sarcasm detector isn't working. This is a joke thread. No one is putting you down personally. Lighten up, Francis.

Dwarves > Elves*
Fixed that for you.

But all the races are NOT equal! For instance, Hobbits are much, much, better eating than Dwarves. Orcs smell funny, even if they fall in the Hoardale (closest thing to a bath they ever get). Elves have a thing for strawberry bubble bath and pretty dresses. And we Wargs are forever doomed to hunt for a decent groomer.
It just is what it is and we learn to accept it.
And, seriously. Complaining because the Dwarves insulted you? Really? Try looking at the world from my perspective. You are all trying to kill us. I'd be happy if you just insulted us. But no. All you so called Free People ever try and do is hunt us down because of our glorious natural fur coats.
I'd think an Elf, with those ages and ages of life span, which we lack, I might add, just like thumbs, would have learned some humor.
I hardly call this discussion funny. I do have a sense of humor, but not when people start getting full of themselves. As a leader of a kin, I find this whole stupid discussion mean and in poor taste. How would my kinmates feel if I started telling them they sucked because they were not a certain race? I think that many would leave if I started hating on them and called it a joke.
Actually,hobbits are better than both the elves ans the dwarves.
Who was it that saved Middle Earth? the dwarves? nope the elves? wrong
It was a hobbit that saved the butts of the dwarves,the elves,and the race of man. While the elves and the dwarves were still *****ing at each other at Rivendale,it was one hobbit who sacrificed himself,to lug The One Ring to Mt. Mordor to destroy it. And it was a hoobit who helped slay The Witch King. And it was a hobbit who saved Faramir's life.
reasons on why hobbits are cool
*hobbits grow and make their own foods
*hobbits can sing
*hobbits can grow their own crops of pipe-weed
And that is why the hobbits outshine the dwarves and elves.
we hobbits are NOT for eating,wargs are for making fur coats out of though.
bad dog,I mean warg (smacks you with rolled up scroll)
I still stand by my statement that hobbits outshine and outclass the elves and dwarves.
*munches scroll - case and all with a satisfying crunching sound*
Mmmm. Needs salt.
Ok two-legger we see eye to eye with, we'll make a deal with you. Use those real fancy ovens to make us some Wargie Snax (tm) and stop trying to skin us for our, admittedly glorious, pelts and we won't eat you. Besides. Momma always said we weren't supposed to eat anything that talks. Even if it would taste really, really, good.
I felt it was good to have a place for all those who play dwarves to vent off some steam, trade funny "And then the elf walked into the door!" stories, and generally explain why those tall-eared freaks are so bad.
Personally, I dislike a race that makes claims to being first (they came second in fact) and generally think it is better then it is for no reason. Nine out of ten times, in most fantasy genre, they are the cause of more problems then they fix. In LotR, they run away despite the fact they helped to create the rings of power in the first place.
(Don't believe that whole "We didn't know" line. After all, you notice that they made their three rings without Sauron. But like to claim they did not know what is going on? Pull the other, it has bells and finger-cymbals on it.)
I will say they are good for hanging from the walls of a keep or castle. Operation Elven Shield should be in full effect!
Oh and feel free to mention, of course :P, why you decided to play a dwarf.
So dats what you think? Your so wrong. NPC elves suck and your right. But player elves are awesome. You got a problem with that take it up with my elf RK he'll kill so you fast you wont know what hit ya. IF controlling the elements and shooting lightning from your hands, and brining someone back from the dead isnt bada$$ i dont know what is.
(Also dont mention dwarf RKs because the first person to use a rune stone in middle earth was an elf, look it up.)

Interesting argument for elves being better than dwarves, citing only their ability to be runekeepers as the difference, and conveniently asking people to not mention that dwarves can be RK's too.
You sir, countered your own post.
Dwarf runekeepers are better anyway, they have beards.
That has, in fact, always bothered me about elves. They act as if nature is found only in the forest and not a single person ever calls them on it.
Last time I checked, dancing around naked under some trees does not bring you any closer to the ocean, the sky, the mountains, the beloved underground, or the river.
Also, why is it that elves get a free pass when it comes to how they act? "He is only 120 years old, he is a young child ... to an elf". Well, was he kept in a room, under a rock, in some secret elf only world? I don't care how long you live, if you have seen 120 years worth of life, you should not act like a jackanape!
Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! Dwarves fighting the OrcsAdded by CraigmbowringThe War began when the elderly exiled Dwarven King Thrór, heir of Durin, journeyed to Moria with a single companion named Nár. When they arrived at the East Gate of Moria, Nár begged Thrór to take caution and refrain from entering the ill-fated place. His words went unheeded by Thrór, who went forth and entered Moria proudly as an heir who returns. But he did not come back. Nár hid nearby for three days awaiting Thrór's return. On the first day of his absence, Thór was captured by the goblins after being discovered in one of the armories, and was accused of 'thieving'. He was tortured for two days by Azogthe Goblin, who attempted to pry information from the old dwarf, who would reveal little. On the third day when goblins informed Azog of a second dwarf, Nár, skulking outside the East Gate, Azog had another idea. Thrór's last words were heard by no one beyond Moria: in a tone of defiance and dignity, he cried out, "These are the halls of Durin!" before he was beheaded by Azog. Thrór's death came in TA 2790. In response to the presence of Nár, Azog had Thrór's head and body flung out onto the steps of the East Gate. Nár, who had hid nearby, heard a great shout of triumph from within the gate, followed by the blast of a horn, and a headless body was flung out onto the steps. Nár approached, fearing that it was the body of Thrór, as indeed it turned out to be. Thrór's severed head lay next to his body. Azog then called out to Nár from the gate, demanding that he deliver a message back to Thrór's people, warning that beggars who dared to enter Moria and attempt thievery would meet a similar fate. Azog then proclaimed that he had killed Thrór and that he now ruled Moria as king. He had carved his name in runes onto the brow of Thrór, in turn forever branding his name into the hearts of the Dwarves. Nár was barred from retrieving the head of Thrór, and was struck with a small pouch of coins of little worth as a final gesture of scorn. Nár took the pouch and turned and fled. When he looked back, goblins had emerged from the Gate and were hacking apart the body and flinging the pieces to the ravens. When Nár returned to Dunland many weeks later, this was the tale that he brought before Thráin II who wept and cursed and tore his beard at hearing Nár's account, and then he fell silent in his grief. For seven days he sat in silence with little food or drink at hand. Finally on the seventh day, he stood up and declared, "This cannot be borne!" He sent out messengers in all directions to deliver the tale. From TA 2790 to TA 2793 the Longbeards,Durin's folk, responded by mustering their forces, calling upon the other houses of the Dwarves in every corner of the world, for the dishonor to the heir of the eldest of their race filled them with wrath. In TA 2793 when all was ready, they attacked, sacking and assailing one by one all the goblin-holds of the Misty Mountains from Mount Gundabad in the north to the peak of Methedras in the south. Most of the war was fought underground, in the great mines and tunnels of the Misty Mountains, where Dwarves excel in combat, and as such they went unaided by the other Free Peoples, and they carried the advantage through their mismatched weapons and the fire of their anger as they hunted for Azog in every den under the mountains. This stage of the war was said to be very grim and bitter. Few Dwarven veterans ever recounted what took place beneath the mountains. The war climaxed in TA 2799, when a final battle was fought in the valley outside the eastern gates of Moria, theBattle of Azanulbizar. The Dwarves finally won this notoriously bloody encounter when reinforcements arrived late on the scene from the Iron Hills. After the battle, Thráin II son of Thrór wanted to enter Moria and reclaim it, but the Dwarves not of Durin's folk refused, saying they had honored Durin's memory by fighting, and this was enough. Durin's folk on their own could not muster a force strong enough to enter Khazad-dûm. Probably the Dwarves also feared Durin's Bane was still present. The war was very costly for the Dwarf race, as nearly half of those involved were killed. Náin son of Grór, Frerin second son of Thráin II, and Fundin son of Farin, the father of Balin, were among the more noted casualties. Thráin II himself lost an eye, and Thorin was wounded when his shield broke and he had to use an oak branch to defend himself. This led to his byname Thorin II Oakenshield. During the conflict many goblins fleeing south through Rohan, trying to claim a refuge in the White Mountainsbeyond, troubled the Rohirrim for two generations. Other effects of the war were that the goblins of the Misty Mountains virtually disappeared as a threat for Eriadorand Wilderland: the goblins of the High Pass near Rivendell were some of the few survivors. 150 years later the Goblins of the North still had not fully recovered, but their population was further reduced during the Battle of Five Armies in TA 2941, where Bolg son of Azog tried to avenge his father. Bolg was killed by Beorn during the battle. It is probable that without this War and the final slaughter of the Battle of Azanulbizar, the later War of the Ringwould have been lost in the north, and the Ring-bearer might never have made it south to Mordor. But a small dark figure that none had observed sprang out of the shadows and gave a hoarse shout: Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu! An axe swung and swept back. Two Orcs fell headless. The rest fled.
be quiet elves

"Throw it into the fire Isildur!"
"No."
"Okay! I'll just... uh... go back to Rivendell and mope."
So the One Ring gets lost (duh) and returns (shocker!) and what is Elrond doing? He's bugging out. With the rest of them. Running away. Does he, just once, even consider mounting a defense against Sauron? Mobilizing what elves they have left and go out in a blaze of glory? Nope, he doesn't. He's too busy moping around in Rivendell, crying how Legolas used up all his bubble bath and how Arwen looks better in his purple dress.
"Throw it into the fire Isildur! End this nightmare!"
"Nah dude, i think i'll keep it and make it my most precious item. Then i become so obsessed with the right that i die in an ambush and lose it. Then it will most likely fall into the hands of some hobbit who will walk into Mordor."
"Only if i get to go to the grey havens like a coward."
"Deal"

Think elves win when it comes time to mate have fun with those bearded women, fellas!
i think you confused elves with men when you said "when it comes time to mate" for elves have only 1 gender with 2 variants
female elf:
1 has a chest
the other stands as though it has a stick shoved up its butt
and, i as a dwarf, does not need a women to satisfy me, put me in a room full of orcs to kill and i will be as happy as a little hobbit lad or lass receiving his first toy
Do you see a resemblance between Men and Americans, Elves and French (maybe Japanese), Hobbits and Irish, and Dwarves and Russians. Maybe Tolkien used these nationalities as influences. If so, we can better understand each of them if we knew more about today's world.
I am an elf myself. Im Level 75 already and my damage is awesome.
STILL, I made myself a dwarf today and will start over playing only him because dwarfes are awesome like that.
As a runekeeper people always want me to heal though I am a damage dealer. I bet they just want me to heal because Im an elf and as elves are weak = they are healers. I bet If I was a dwarf people would take me to instances for pure dps.
Dwarves Fat
Short
Horrible Beard
Has to swim in a puddle
Elves All female
The supposedly "male" version stands like he's got a sword up his...
No short hair. The shorter hair has stupid decorations on it.
Looks stupid overall.
Both classes suck.
But....they're not classes, they're...races..? I'm so confused.

Added by CraigmbowringThe War began when the elderly exiled Dwarven King Thrór, heir of Durin, journeyed to Moria with a single companion named Nár. When they arrived at the East Gate of Moria, Nár begged Thrór to take caution and refrain from entering the ill-fated place. His words went unheeded by Thrór, who went forth and entered Moria proudly as an heir who returns. But he did not come back. Nár hid nearby for three days awaiting Thrór's return. On the first day of his absence, Thór was captured by the goblins after being discovered in one of the armories, and was accused of 'thieving'. He was tortured for two days by Azogthe Goblin, who attempted to pry information from the old dwarf, who would reveal little. On the third day when goblins informed Azog of a second dwarf, Nár, skulking outside the East Gate, Azog had another idea. Thrór's last words were heard by no one beyond Moria: in a tone of defiance and dignity, he cried out, "These are the halls of Durin!" before he was beheaded by Azog. Thrór's death came in TA 2790.
