New Elven Bow
Rune of Mirkwood

I was kindly informed this evening from Arms of Valor Ltd., that they a new edition/creation added to their exquisite collection: a replica of Legolas's bow - if you are interested in checking it out. Quite pricey, though!

Also, on The Lord of the Rings.net website, in looking up the "Cultures" section of the Elves,
that although considered immortal, it states there that they can be killed by fire or steel - (I am not sure where they get their information, but it was interesting to read this...and I hope we never see this in any of the future episodes!)
They also can die of grief. They were also the first to sing songs in Middle-Earth and beautifully - (remember the "Lament for Gandalf" sung at Lothlorien - Legolas mentions this...)

I am just curious now, what the Elves eat to sustain their strength and beauty? In the audio books I have, namely The Two Towers, it states that Legolas, Gimli, and Strider sleep and eat, but no specifics to their "menu". I suppose I am just curious at this point.
