Anti-elf sentiment looks to be a common element throughout Middle-earth and Numenor.
The dwarves dont trust them.
Elves are powerful and principled and, generally speaking, pretty easy on the eyes.
In some ways, however, that wariness and distaste is understandable, and for all the same reasons.
And their principles sometimes disagree with the humans instinct to do their own thing.
Sometimes even elves hate elves.
Some run so deep even the rocks and ruins now believe them.
To untangle it all would all but require the creation of a new world.
And that is something only the gods can do.
And I am no god.
At least not yet.
All this sounds pretty troubling to Arondir, and understandably so.
And that kingdom might grow.
At least for now.
If they dont, there will be trouble.
Theres more going on with Theo, however.
It is a power, fashioned for our ancestors by his masters own hand.
Also: He expects Sauron to return, welcomes that return, and suggests Theo should do the same.
Its all pretty ominous.
Humans go about things a little more sneakily.)
Things move fast when elves are around, apparently.
That said, it seems it doesnt take much to make Elrond think of Earendil.

Elrond gives it an elvish name: mithril.
Also, it would make an excellent weapon.
And it looks like theyre going to need weapons pretty soon.
A bunch of Numenorans are venturing back to Middle-earth with an elf by their side.
Adars about to head into battle.
The harfoots have hit the road with the mysterious stranger in tow.
Theres a lot going on.
The harfoots remain offscreen this episode, but its not without reminders of them.
The Sauron fan who talks to Theo mentions a falling star being a sign of Saurons return.
So could the stranger be Sauron?
Maybe it will be a slow-burning romance to join Arondir and Bronwyns.
Not all the action is swift in Middle-earth.
Miriel claims that her palantir is the only one not lost or hidden.
Galadriel claims to have touched palantiri before.
