{He is a king without his elegant trappings - but, really, he doesn't need them. The robe he wears catches the light with the smallest of motions, glittering faintly as if precious jewels are woven in the fabric.

The Vanyar, Noldor, Teleri, Sindar, Nandor, Silvan, Falmari and Avari are much the same. We hold to some beliefs that unite us, however there is a difference between those who stood under the glory of the Two Trees and those who did not.

{He is of a race that did not, though his people began the journey (and thus get credit for trying).}

Such ideals can be difficult to find in times of hardship.
