Ah yes, but Elrond was not a sorceror. The only true "Magicians" of Middle Earth were the five Istari (who weren't even really OF Middle Earth). Elrond was more of a sage...the wise old elven guide if you will. Although it's also very important to keep in mind that using the word "old" when speaking of Elrond is a HUGE understatement. Elrond was alive when the Valar still walked Middle-Earth..and this time dates back all the way to the first age. On a sidenote, its also fairly interesting that Elrond was not always elven. He was orignally a Peredhil (half-elven), and at the end of the great battle (which in turn led to the end of the first age) Elrond was given the option to choose between Mortality (Edain, or human) or Elven. He chose elven and was made an Eldarin lord. Kind of neat to be able to choose your race... BTW, does anyone know who will be playing the part of Elrond? Thanks for listening.
