Introduction of Legolas in The Lord of the Rings

Legolas? The green leaf is the prince of dark Elfing, the descendant of an elf aristocrat.

Legolas Greenleaf

Legolas means "green leaf" in Cinda elvish.

His grandfather, orpheus, fought side by side with Eleanor Linton in the "Final Alliance" and died in battle. His father, Thranduil, is the Elf King. He put thirteen dwarfs who accompanied Bilbo to the lonely mountain for treasure hunting in prison. Therefore, when Bilbo was hiding in the elf palace, he probably met Legolas; What is more certain is that Gimli will never forget that his father Gloin was abused by the elf's father.

He is a wood elf, also known as the forest elf, belonging to the Teleri nationality. Different from the aristocratic lineage of the southern compatriots, Legolas has no power beyond the mortal world.

But Legolas has excellent field survival ability, rich forest knowledge and broad vision.

Like his dwarf friend Gimli, no one knew his life before he came to rivendell as the special envoy of the forest elves in the dark forest of Legolas. However, according to the general practice, as a prince, he must have led the team to guard the border for many years, and honed the skill of piercing Yang with the lives of countless orcs. Obviously, he never left the huge green forest to travel, because when he came to Lian, Roxlo with the expedition, it was the first time he saw this golden forest ruled by Galadriel and celeborn and the place where his relatives lived, and it was also the first time he saw the elders who once lived in this blessed land. In Rosell, he got a special Lórien longbow, rocket launcher and many arrows, which greatly enhanced his fighting ability. This bow is big, more powerful than his bow in the dark forest, and uses longer arrows: they are really priceless when dealing with powerful orcs. When he and Gimli fought together in the Palano Plain, they went back to visit the Shining Cave together, where he saw a more beautiful and dazzling spectacle than his father's underground palace. On his way to the battlefield, he approached the coastline and heard the call of the sea for the first time. This awakened Legolas' deep desire for the western fairyland where his compatriots sailed. After the Lord of the Rings War, Legolas lived with a group of people in a forest in Isili, Gondor.

In AD 4 (120), Aragon, king of Eliza, died, and Legolas finally listened to the call of the sea. He built a boat and left Middle-earth alone, accompanied by his good friend Gimli. This is the last written record of the members of the Lord of the Rings expedition.

bow

Legolas carried a black wooden bow, probably Chinese fir, which he made himself in a dark forest when he was young. Its appearance structure is very simple, carved from a whole piece of wood, taking the style of Numenor bow, but carved with golden and beautiful ivy patterns coiled along the bow arm. Because Legolas spent most of his time shooting arrows in the dense forest, his bow was not particularly long. The bowstring on the plate is about 60 inches high, but it is very powerful. It can easily shoot an arrow 250 meters away with deadly force, although it may be more common in the dense forest of dark forest. When chasing the enemy, he usually faces a close shooting target. The arrow of the dark forest is 30 inches long, and its body is quite tough, and it can withstand the tension generated by such a strong bow. As the bow is dyed brown, it has a narrow and sharp hunting arrow, which looks like a cone, in order to shoot an arrow through the armor and body. The green feathers on the tail of the arrow almost certainly come from roosters or other birds who live and hunt around the forest, and the grooves on the string are hand-carved. These arrows are packed in wooden quiver, which will be dyed and coated with resin to make it look deep and shiny, and then covered with thick metal around the mouth of the quiver as reinforcement.

The bow made by Legolas in Lórien is an amazing masterpiece: it is obviously cut from the heart of a whole Mellon tree, and its carving is so delicate and ingenious that it looks like it is covered with leaves and vines carved with wood whiter than the bow. The bow is 68 inches high after bending, enjoying the reputation of being as far as 400 meters and extremely accurate; If its bowstring is really blessed by a strand of Queen Galadriel's hair as rumored, then the statement that it has such great power is probably true. Meron tree has a certain mass, which can make it pull up 150 pounds, which is similar to a bow in a dark forest, but its length and range are larger. When you don't hold it in your hand, you can put it in a leather case and tie it to the hanging belt of the quiver with a raw belt. The arrow is 40 inches long, slightly lighter than the arrow in the dark forest, in order to reduce the weight; The golden green feathers of the arrow tail are taken from turkey feathers and trimmed into diamonds. Their arrows are dyed gray-green, and their long barrel arrows are usually shaped like Mellon leaves to ensure maximum damage. Due to the strong tension of this strong bow, the opening of the string is usually reinforced with bones or hard flint that can only be found in Yin Guanghe. Lórien's quiver is made of wood and covered with leather. It is inlaid with a beautiful golden peacock, a rare bird of middle earth, and a golden fixing ring is tightly wrapped around its mouth. The quiver can hold about 24 arrows at a time. Use a sling attached to the quiver to bypass his shoulder and fasten it on him to prevent it from falling during running or fighting. Therefore, reaching for the arrow from behind the shoulder properly and quickly is to let Legolas make sure that he will be in a fixed position when reaching for the arrow.

plate armour

It is said that except for two leather armguards on his wrist, Legolas only wore armor once in his life, when he was preparing to take part in the Helmet Valley War. Like his fellow elves in sindarin, he knew it would be a brutal hand-to-hand combat, and there was no room for change. So in order to make a safe concession, he put on an eight-layer pleated shoulder pad made of hard ripe leather, wrapped his shoulders, and fixed it across his chest with a belt. These folds are fixed together with hinge nails, but they are still enough to keep him flexible; The fourth, sixth and eighth pleats are engraved with designs of Luohan Kingdom. Legolas had no chance to make similar preparations to protect himself before he came to Palano Plain to wage war, so when the elf went deep into the dangerous battlefield, he put on his usual travel clothes: a light blue silk shirt with exquisite embroidery, a soft gray-green wool tights, suede high boots, shaped like overlapping leaves, decorated with plants, and a double-layer suede short-sleeved shirt: the inner layer was khaki green, and the outer layer was slightly thicker. This robe is waist-length, with sleeves only reaching the elbows, and the hem is split on both sides, which will not hinder his action. In addition, he wore a cloak presented by Lórien and fastened it in front of the neckline with a silver leaf pin.
