History[]
Background[]
Thranduil lost his father in the Last Alliance of Men and Elves, leaving Thranduil to rule his kingdom. He fathered a son named Legolas with a woman he loved very much and even had necklace made for her. However, he gave it to the dwarves to make it for him, but Thror would not give him the necklace, one of the reasons why Thranduil turned his back on the dwarves when they begged for help.
