Gildor's company, passing through the Shire, were Noldor (high elves). Galadriel was, too.– Michael FosterCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 18:58

4"Not a person to be sent out on a few months of roughing it." Any self-respecting dwarf would rather die a thousand deaths than admit to anybody that the proposed journey was "roughing it".– EvilSnackCommented Dec 30, 2023 at 1:42

3@EvilSnack Hence why any self-respecting dwarf who doesn't want to rough it puts him in a position where he will not be chosen to rough it out. Elves aren't the only ones who can scheme.– DKNguyenCommented Dec 30, 2023 at 1:48

Excellent answer! I lean heavily on "...by chance as it may seem. Yet it is not so. Believe rather..." Cannot see how Elrond, with his wisdom and experience in multiple realms, could say more clearly that he recognizes the strong element of Eru's will and destiny. He already knows that his task is to facilitate and assist, not to argue or delay or push his favored course of action. He concedes immediately to the council's half-baked take-the-ring-to-the-fire idea. He gives in easily to Merry and Pippin going despite obvious misgiving. Higher powers are hard at work, so get out of the way.– user535733Commented Jan 2 at 0:53

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
