some days ago I bought the third age Middle Earth map and since I rewatched the films with my parents, this afternoon I was indicated my mom where Rivendell and Minas Tirith are
watching the map I realized that Rivendell and Mirkwood are pretty near but they have the mountain in between so Legolas actually did something similar
since I don't think he neither passed thought Caradhras nor Moria, so why the Fellowship didn't take a similar path?
if Gandalf's plan was to arrive to Lothlorien, here you are, whats the problem
I understand that Jolkien wanted to kill Gandalf ecc but broooooo think about that
if someone knows where Legolas passed please tell me
The other option was to go through the Gap of Rohan, which was rejected on the grounds that it would take the Ring too close to Isengard. But Saruman probably wouldn’t take much notice of a few Elves headed to Rivendell; they probably go there all the time. So that’s my guess.
