Shadows of Twilight: an Elrond fansite

APPEARANCE

Elrond is the grandson of Lúthien Tinúviel, celebrated as the fairest elf in the history of Middle-earth. His daughter Arwen was said by some to be the living image of Lúthien, and was also thought to resemble Elrond though 'in form of womanhood'... which adds up to one beautiful elf! ;)

"The face of Elrond was ageless, neither old nor young, though in it was written the memory of many things both glad and sorrowful. His hair was dark as the shadows of twilight, and upon it was set a circlet of silver; his eyes were grey as a clear evening, and in them was a light like the light of stars. Venerable he seemed as a king crowned with many winters, and yet hale as a tried warrior in the fullness of his strength. He was Lord of Rivendell and mighty among both Elves and Men." (The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter 1)

"He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer." (The Hobbit, Chapter 3)

"Elrond was in his chair and the fire was on his face like summer-light upon the trees." (The Fellowship of the Ring, Book II, Chapter 1)>

"Elrond wore a mantle of grey and had a star upon his forehead, and a silver harp was in his hand, and upon his finger was a ring of gold with a great blue stone, Vilya, mightiest of the Three." (The Return of the King, Book VI, Chapter 9)
