It saddens me very much that one some of the Eldar here have done a great deal to tarnish our reputation. We are not all that way, I assure you. We do not all scorn people of different Fates. In fact, I have been greatly bettered in my life by my associations with dwarves, Men, and Elves of all sorts.
Please allow me to introduce myself, to those of you who may not know. My name is Finrod Felagund. I am the eldest son of Arafinwë, who is currently High King of the Ñoldor in Valinor. I served for a time as King of Nargothrond, but an oath pulled me from my home and I sadly hear that it has fallen into despair in my absence.
I should very much like to speak with all of you, and get to know some of you, perhaps as friends. I will gladly answer any questions you may have about myself, and my people. I have no secrets, and wish very much for understanding between our peoples.
