	Finrod shows up twice, Fingon not at all.

	Angrod and Aegnor also don't show up, nor does Gwindor, who plays a major role in the Turin story. Nor Glorfindel and Ecthelion, from the fall of Gondolin. And Dior wasn't even an Elf.

	This is missing far too many characters.

	Dior was a technically a half-elf, I don't know if Lúthien's becoming mortal would have prevented him from choosing to be one of the elder children or not...we'll never know since he didn't live long enough. If you're going to include him and Elrond then you certainly should include Elwing and I'd say Eärendil too, even though everyone seems inclined to count him as a Man he did choose to be an Elf, even if in his heart he was more of a Man. You're also missing Nahtar (Nerdinel's father), Orodreth, Saeros, and numerous others I don't even remember anymore but that I tried.

	Oh, I think the Finrod thing is because Finarfin was Finrod for a long time, into the sixties I think (that's why there's a reference to the golden house of Finrod in Appendix F in LotR). The name Finarfin was a very late development. Before he was Finrod Finrod was Inglor (implying Gildor Inglorion was meant to be of his house) and sometimes I believe simply Felagund, before that was decided to be of Dwarvish origin! In other words, that situation is a real mess if you go beyond the nice, consistent, published surface. Regardless, it should clearly be Finarfin now. I'd theoretically love the idea of making Finarfin come up by typing Finrod because I'm an incorrigible nerd, but I don't think it would in real life be any sort of good idea...not practical at all. By that logic Elves should be included that were only mentioned in Book of Lost Tales or whatever. And this quiz is about the Silmarillion, not every idea Tolkien ever had related to it. The line must be drawn somewhere, and I say the sooner the better.

	headwall headwall headwall I just had one of those weird moments when I woke up in the morning and suddenly remembered what I did. Elwing if about the least male Elf you could think of, and including her would be completely insane. My rambling got the better of me again there. votes self down Ugh. Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh.

	The quiz should say the Silmarillion proper or else we're tempted to throw things like Eru in. Also, how Morgoth/Melkor isn't on here baffles me, along with a bunch of other central characters. perhaps clues would help as well to know what we should be aiming for? Otherwise Morgoth, Nim, Sauron, Earendil, and countless others are are viable. Also, Luthien and Beren not being on here makes me sad. It's not like one of the silmarils got itself out of Morgoth's crown...

	First off first, timer be nice to me. Second I keep on trying to retitle it male elf characters, that is what I inteded. Third I will go over it and try to get my hints to show up.

	Please tell me if this is better.

	Gwindor, not Gwildor. Furthermore, Finarfin's sons Aegnor and Angrod, not to mention the Lords of Gondolin Ecthelion and Glorfindel are still missing. Finally, if you decide to include half-elves such as Elrond in the quiz, it may as well be all-inclusive such that Ëarendil is not omitted.

	Ëarendil, yes, and Daeron (the amazing minstrel who loved Luthien also). And to beren, the quiz specifically said male elves. Therefore Beren, who is a human, and Luthien, who is female, should not be on this quiz, so JoeT, ignore beren's suggestion :) . Great idea for a quiz though!!!! And mostly perfect. The main issue, really, is forgetting Ëarendil, who kind of single-handedly got the Valar to intervene and overthrow Morgoth and now is a star...
