1. Just being difficult here, but actually there was at least one recorded fight between elves. Melkor, the dark enemy spread lies, Ungoliant destroyed the Trees of Valnor which drove out light from the Undying Lands, Melkor stole the Simarils that the Noldor Prince Feanor had wrought, he fled with Ungoliant (the great spider) across Helcaraxe (the grinding ice), and returned to Middle-earth. Feanor swore vengeance and pursued Melkor. They captured the swan ships of Teleri of Alqualonde and slew their elven kin. I wish icould expplain this better but i only know it because i read it in the Tolkien Encyclopedia, i havnt yet read the Silmarillion (forgive my spelling) <BR>3. (I got this from a Tolkien encyclopedia, although it could be wrong) Goblins are the name we humans have nowadays given to orcs. Orcs perfer not to be in sunlight, but Uruk-Hai are not bothered by it as much and are bigger, stronger, and bred by Sauron. So i think basically what it said was Goblins and orcs are the same just different name which is weird cause they are called goblins in the hobbit, but still i understand because the hobbit is more of a child's story.<P>4. Yeah, the elven rings were forged by the elves in secret, and therefore never touched by Sauron, so he could not know of them or control them. The other rings were controled by the one ring and therefore corrupted, but the elven rings were free of this.
