"To be fair to Thingol and the dwarves, who were... Broadbeams, I believe, not Longbeards like you and your family - they were dealing with a Silmaril, which has historically developed a reputation for making otherwise sane people do increasingly insane things." Elladan allows.

He grins at Kili and drops the bombshell "Oh, they're true all right. Thingol is my great-great-great grandfather - Luthien and Beren and my ancestors. Why else do you think my father is called 'Half-elven'?"

He shakes his head. "No, I don't think so, but I don't spend as much time in Thranduil's Halls since Legolas grew up and it became Mirkwood, so I don't know everyone there. And trust me, if you met Glorfindel, you would remember him - he's kinda... noticeable."
