Q: Why Didn’t The Elves Destroy The Three Rings?
ANSWER: People have asked many questions about the Rings of Power. I received the following question about the Elven rings in July 2025:

Q: Are Orcs And Elves The Same Race Or Not?
ANSWER: People have asked variations on this question since The Silmarillion was first published. Maybe the question arose even before 1977.

But the question has reared its […]

Q: How Far Can Elves See?
ANSWER: I received the following question in May of 2025:
