I think you find more people think its Arwen (or Legolas if they like
Bashki) ;)
Pity, I always liked Glorfindel. Especially as he appears to have been
killed in the first age, then came back mid 2nd or 3rd age (depending on
what you read), it seems a shame to have not included the character :)
maybe this isnt on topic any more ... well Legolas has the word LEGO in his
name so maybe it is

| (...) D'oh! In my defense, that was one of the scenes from the movie that I tried very hard to forget. I like Glorfindel, too, btw. Bruce (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.castle)
