text | "He [Gandalf] then pointed and named those who Frodo had not met before. There was a younger dwarf at Gloin's side: his son, Gimli. Beside Glorfindel there were several other counsellors of Elrond's household, of whom Eresror was the cheif; and with him was Galdor, an Elf from the Grey Havens who had come on an errand from Cirdan the Shipwirght. There was also a strange Elf clan in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. And seated apart was a tall man with a fair and nobel face, dark-haired and grey-eyed, proud and stern of glance." | "Gandalf introduced all unfamiliar faces: Gimli son of Gloin, several Elves including Galdor of the Grey Havens, and a hot Elf, Legolas, whose father, King Thranduil, was too lazy to come himself. Seated apart was Boromir, whose father was also 'preoccupied.'" |
Galdor | "The Wise may have good reason to believe that the halfling's trove is indeed the Great Ring of long debate, unlikely though that may seem to those who know less." | "Frodo has the One Ring." |
