Crown Prince of Greenwood

Legolas makes his entrance in the Hall of Fire at the Spring Festival.


Legolas was not vain, not really, no. But he was a prince and a crown one at that. Correct presentation had been drilled into him since we was an elfling. For himself he found it all highly uncomfortable, but he also realized that he was the chief representative of his nation, his culture, and as such, his own personal preferences played no part in what he would wear tonight - not only was he representing the Greenwood, but the forests themselves, nay, there was no room for his own considerations.

(…)

Erestor emerged, touched by the music that would accompany his herald – he rose to it and solemnly held his own arms out as he proclaimed the presence of Crown Prince Legolas, of Greenwood the Great. Erestor stepped to the side then, as Legolas appeared from behind him, flanked by two, fully armed Greenwood warriors in full battle attire. That was surprising enough, but then the eyes of Imladris fell on the Prince, as he slowly began to walk along the line of his people who sang out his presence in beautiful harmony, smiling at them as he slowly passed by.
