Elrond - Lord of Imladris

--- Zitat von: helloa2134 am 21. Jul 2015, 07:18 ---Cirdan is the most foresighted of all the Elves left in Middle-Earth, so I think it is more fitting that he has the power instead of Elrond.

--- Ende Zitat ---

True, he was the first one to recognise the true nature of the Wizards, just arrived in Middle Earth from beyond the Sea  :)
And the first one to understand the real value and status of Gandalf as the wisest and the destined-to-be chief of the Istari.
It is also stated and inferred, as I read somewhere, that the Palantír, the one kept by Círdan, is the only one capable of communicating with the Elves of Eressëa, who own as well a Palantír.

So, I think that this significant aspect of Imladris/Lindon/Grey Havens is already well implemented, and thus Elrond can focus mainly on his leader/commander/healer nature.

Gandalf The Gray:
agree

TiberiusOgden:
I think that we shouldn't speculate about foresight when we have clear statement from J.R.R. Tolkien:


--- Zitat ---He is said in the Annals of the Third Age (c.1000) to have seen further and deeper into the future than anyone else in Middle-earth. This does not include the Istari (who came from Valinor), but must include even Elrond, Galadriel, and Celeborn.

--- Ende Zitat ---
Source: Histories of Middle Earth vol. 12 - Last Writings: Cirdan.
So Cirdan should have the most powerful foresight ability. And that Gladys has better and clearer foresight ability than Elrond is quite obvious around all forums which I know - because she has her mirror, which supports her abilities, simply said.

And both implementations are (and will be) badass - Cirdan can reveal the whole map for some time and Gladys can reveal only parts of map, but permanently.
In both cases is the Team extremely lore accurate and personally I really like it. :) 

Yes Elrond has very powerful foresight ability, but definitely not as a Cirdan. And all heroes really can't have such ability - Celeborn deserves it too (and maybe Istari as well).

As I said - Gildor as a scout hero will have the same spell on level one like Gladys will have on level five (but in Gildor's case only for some time) and it fits for Imladris scout hero. Cirdan will be part of the faction as well.

So we should go away from foresight for Elrond because foresight is more or less support ability from the distance, but Elrond will be primarily Hero supporter and strong army leader on the battlefield.

Yes, this is the crucial point  :)
Elrond's healing, magical and military abilities will be thus shown more appropriately and coherently, I think, without whirlwinds  :P

Gandalf The Gray:
agree no whirlwinds for elrond  xD xD xD xD
