I don't know about Sarah's elves, but my Nolltod (the speakers of Cein) are a snooty-ass bunch of elves. Not very surprising, since they're basically Noldor who started their own community a bit more up north in Middle-earth. And the Noldor aren't exactly renowned for their humility. :) I haven't decided yet if they're gonna be more snooty (is that even possible?) or less snooty than the Noldor. On the one hand, they did leave the rest of the Noldor, perhaps because they thought the original Noldor were too stuck up. On the other hand, the Noldor do speak Sindarin these days, and i Ddolltod actually speak a direct descendent of Quenya. They even still call it "Quenya", though in their mouths it comes out as "Cein". :) Daniel Andreasson -- "Go Gollum! Go Gollum! Go Gollum!" - Lords of the Rhymes
