Your favorite Elven dwelling in the Third Age?

(1/3) > >>

ThorinsNemesis:
The Third Age of Middle-earth sees the diminishing of the Elven Race as they either sail to Valinor or fade away into the Fourth Age; but during this time they still haven't abandoned their realms throughout Middle-earth, with each realm being inhabited by different types of Elves:
- Lindon and Rivendell are inhabited by the few remaining Noldor, the High Elves who had been to Valinor before and witnessed the Light of the Two Trees - these elves hold great wisdom.
- Mirkwood is inhabited by the more numerous (in comparison to the Noldor) Silvan Elves (Elves who stopped their journey to Valinor and decided to settle in Mirkwood), who are 'less complicated and more' earthy',  and also 'less wise and more dangerous'. ;)
-Lothlorien is also inhabited by Silvan Elves, with the exception of its rulers Galadriel and Celeborn, who were Noldor Elves.
-The Orocarni Mountains, located in the Far East of Middle-earth, are not inhabited by four Dwarven clans only - in the forests and caves surrounding the Mountains live the Dark Elves (Avari and Moriquendi - these are the Elves who refused to go to Valinor, instead preferring to stay in their home, Cuivienen), the Elves that least of all other Elves wanted to go to Valinor at the end of the Third Age
I'd like to know which is your favorite Elven realm of the Third Age; mine is Mirkwood :). Feel free to explain why you like the realm.

WarOfTheRingVeteran:
Rivendell, because it always seemed more isolated, by what I mean safe than other elven realms, especially in the books, and it was always a place to rest and have a good time. Also, it's elves are the most friendly ones and less likely to kill you :)

Damn, I really hope they've got whiskey there...

ThorinsNemesis:
Yes, the Elves of Rivendell are probably the most friendly to visitors, though I prefer Elves like those from Mirkwood and the Orocarni, as they are more 'earthy and mysterious', and they don't all wear long robes like the Noldor  ;).
Well they probably have lots of wine, but not whisky  :P. If you like whisky though, Mirkwood would probably have it, considering Thranduil's 'taste' for beverages :D.

aminetude:
i choose lothlorien, not because i dislike the other elves, but i want to feel the magic that protects the golden wood, the one that stoped three attacks from dol'guldur, i would feel the essence and energy of the elven ring nenya, and its master galadriel the white lady, i would trade anything to see once the face of the lady of light, for she is fairest than all the jewels beneath the mountains :) :) :)

ThorinsNemesis:
Yes, Galadriel probably is fairer than all jewels, considering Gimli, who was a proud Dwarf, said that himself when he saw her :).
