Elvish lore

Elen síla lumenn' omentielvo

A star shines on the hour of our meeting

This post was due long time back. Had told a couple of friends about this topic way back in April and they were intrigued. Later I had my end sems, then went back home and forgot all about it. But they hadn’t, and reminded me to finish up this piece I had promised.

I have always been a great fan of fantasy literature. Dragons and elves captured my attention and imagination when I was a kid, and they still do. I happened to write a monograph on the same topic for a particular English course this sem. In it, I have given a cursory insight about Elves supported by references from some novels I have come across. Also I have briefly discussed about the subtle differences in the way Elves have been portrayed by various authors. This is the link for the full account of the monograph for those interested
