Legolas
Prince Legolas-whose name in Elvish means ?Greenlef?- is the son of King Thranduil of the Woodland Elves who inhabit the great northern forest of Mirkwood. This once beautiful forest is even now being overran by Orcs, wolves and other dark, wanderinf spirits in thrall to the powers of darkness as the shadow of Mordor stretches ever further across Middle-earth.
Legolas brings a number of unique and beneficial skills to the fellowship of the rings- the brotherhood of the nine walkers chosen by Elrond to bear the ring across Middle earth. Elves have the preternatural ability to move more lightly across the ground that the other people of middle earth: Legolas is able to run swiftly and effortlessly across the roughest terrain, barely leaving footprints even upon new fallen snow. As a forest elf, he is a master of Woodcraft, able to scan his environments in order to read even the most minute traces and tracks left by the birds and beast pf the world.
