Thranduil is older than Elrond.
Lord Elrond is more powerful than King Thranduil in a one-on-one. Elrond has 1/16th god blood. He is a mighty warrior and he possesses wide knowledge of healing arts.
Apperently Legolas is older than Elrond : r/lotr.
Yes, Thranduil knew of both Elrond and Galadriel, he almost certainly met Elrond and we know for sure that he physically met Galadriel.
Oropher and Thranduil may also see Elrond as their kin, either by blood via Thingol or by marriage via Celebrian, though in both cases they are certainly not closely related.
This doesn't make Thranduil any more powerful than the other two, even though he has a higher title. In fact, Galadriel is probably the most powerful elf in Middle Earth in the Third Age, but she chooses to put that power to the life and vibrancy of her forest, rather than to establish her right to rule.
Narrative. Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell and leader of the High Elves remaining in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age, and Celebrían, daughter of Galadriel, ruler of the Elvish forest realm of Lothlórien. Her elder brothers were the twins Elladan and Elrohir.
Thranduil, as the King of the Woodland Realm, is not considered important enough to possess a ring. His kingdom is fairly small and secluded in comparison to the other Elven realms. He likely would not have been given a ring, even if he was in the line of succession for one.
Originally Answered: Who is older Thanduil or Elrond? Both were born in the First Age; Elrond at the Havens of Sirion and Thranduil, in Doriath. Elrond was born later in the Age, and was the great grandson of Beren and Luthien.
He first appears as a supporting character in The Hobbit, where he is simply known as the Elvenking, the ruler of the Elves who lived in the woodland realm of Mirkwood. The character is properly named in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and appears briefly in The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.
Together, the two of them were known as the Blue Wizards. The one in brown was Radagast and the one in grey was Gandalf, seemingly the oldest and the least of the Order.
He is thought to be over 10,000 years old by the time the War of the Ring takes place, and in all those many long years, he is credited with saving the entire elven race, selflessly putting his own wants and desires aside for the good of all, and of being a vessel through which the divine could communicate with the ...
Gil-galad is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, the last High King of the Noldor, one of the main divisions of Elves. He is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, where the hobbit Sam Gamgee recites a fragment of a poem about him, and The Silmarillion.
Luthien was the most potent elf; in Middle Earth, she was also known as Tinviel. She was able to captivate Morgoth and conquer death because she was the sole offspring of an Elven monarch and the Maia spirit.
“Thranduil developed feelings over 2 years (12 in human) into their marriage but she 'rejected his love for her' and ran away while he was at war, leaving infant Legolas alone, and that when Thranduil found out he finished the war and quickly returned home, and ordered her to be found, but she was captured and tortured ...
It is unknown how old Thranduil is, but he is at least four thousand years old, having fought in The Last Alliance against Sauron with his father Oropher, who died in that battle.
Cirdan: All we know of Cirdan's origin is that he was a relative of Olwe and Elwe, and that he served as a lord among the people of Elwe. It's never specified whether he's older or younger than Olwe. But, Cirdan is the oldest (named/known) elf in Middle Earth (so, basically, not counting Valinor.)
Gandalf's age is impossible to determine, but he's likely existed for at least 10,000 years, making him much older than Legolas.
After the fall of Sauron, Thranduil fixed the southern boundary of his realm as the Mountains of Mirkwood, and his realm flourished well into the Fourth Age. He may have stayed on as the king of the Great Forest or left Middle-earth and departed to the Undying Lands.
Although very little is known about the identity of Legolas' mother, she is referenced a few times in The Hobbit films, and a big part of the source of contention between Taurial and Thranduil is that she thinks him cold and unfeeling, and he thinks her naive and foolhardy.
Actually, Tolkien never states that Thranduil dislikes Galadriel. But his father, Oropher, disliked her. When Celeborn and Galadriel moved into Lorien, he (Oropher) retreated northwards into Mirkwood to get away from them (it is also suggested that he wanted to get away from the dwarves in Moria).
Arwen is described as the “most beautiful of the last generation of High Elves in Middle-earth,” and can summon powerful water spirits. She goes out of her way to always help those in need as well. One of the more important things she does is unite Elf and Man in peace again, like Beren and Lúthien before her.
The last named elf left alive was Arwen, but she died of grief after Aragorn's passing. Legolas is another possibility, as he left with Gimli AFTER Aragorn died, but probably not after Arwen died……
Fourth Age
Most Elves left for Valinor; those that remained in Middle-earth were doomed to a slow decline until, in the words of Galadriel, they faded and became a "rustic folk of dell and cave".
