The Wild, Wild, Wood-elf West: Re: Wow, good stuff (as usual)

In response to message posted by sepdet:

The reference to Oropher settling at Amon Lanc is actually in the next chapter of UT: 'Disaster of the Gladden Fields'. There's a fairly long note about Oropher in Note #14 at the end of the chapter. It also refers to Oropher's 'numerous people' - of course, this would be before the war. However, I tend to think that one reason the Wood Elves might have rebuilt their population fairly quickly is that they lost fewer people to the West - in POME, p 73, Tolkien notes that the Wood Elves 'being content with Middle-earth remained there, and remain even now'.
