First, write about Elrond. Explain who he is. Explain how he is described. What does it mean to be: “strong as a warrior, wise as a wizard, venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer”? Tell me about these qualities and why they are good and necessary qualities in a leader. What is the purpose of them stopping in Rivendell for two weeks? It’s not just to rest. What else is gained (in the plot) by this pause?

Elrond Half-elven is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Both of his parents, Eärendil and Elwing, were half-elven, having both Men and Elves as ancestors. He is the bearer of the elven-ring Vilya, the Ring of Air, and master of Rivendell, where he has lived for thousands of years through the Second and Third Ages of Middle-earth. He is introduced in The Hobbit, where he plays a supporting role, as he does in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

Elrond is a high-throughput public blockchain focused on providing security, efficiency, scalability, and interoperability by adopting two key elements: Adaptive State Sharding and a new Secure Proof of Stake (“SPoS”) consensus mechanism.
