Talk:Elrond

I favor more information from the original character source, here it's the book not the movie. So I removed conjectural facts related to "movie Elrond" -- specifically, his role as herald to Gil-galad (Gil-galad is never even mentioned by name). There's also no evidence that "movie Elrond" would only allow Aragorn to wed Arwen only if he became king. Besides, that's more movie-related info than is warranted here. The rest of this article has major factural errors too, which I will get to soon. Alcarillo 19:55 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I, too, can find no evidence for this notion. I removed the line about Elrond being Gil-galad's herald pending further evidence. In "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Elrond and Gil-galad are described almost on equal terms—in addition, he had already broke off on his own and founded Rivendell by the time of the Dagorlad battle. Unless Tolkien later made changes, it seems unlikely that he would have been serving as a mere herald. --[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:27, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- "I was the herald of Gil-galad and marched with his host." That's at the The Council of Elrond chapter. Aris Katsaris 23:41, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
