Voralphion has just left Hobbiton.
The Eye Why Elendil?

In Numenor at the time that Elendil was born, the Elendili were being picked on by the King's Men, and it has puzzled me as to why Amandil called his son Elendil meaning elf-friend. Surely that would have just been asking for trouble from the majority of people in Numenor as they hated the elves and those that still dealt with them.
