"I've yet to see a single one of the Eldar here- I've seen three Men of my own world, and one of the Hobbits, or Halflings as some called them, but none of the Elves. There was long ill-will between my people and theirs, many thousands of years deep; not enough for open war or battles, but enough to sour what had been fine partnerships in the days when Khazad-dûm was inhabited. It happened in the end that the great Quest of the Ring in which I had a part brought about some healing of that, ere the Elves left the hither shores entirely."
