Nope. I think there were four queens, including Tar-Palantir's daughter
And, in addition all of the kings of Arnor and Gondor we're both desended from a first born girl who sadly lived before they changed the inheritance laws

Hi everyone! I'm working up the will to finalize my signature, so... I guess this will be the signature for now

man I need to read up a bunch before I can properly participate here.
Try the three basics (LotR, The Hobbit, and the Silmarillion) before taking on all the extended stuff. Plus there’s a couple good wikis out there that are helpful.
Topic to fix this sudden inexplicable slowdown of the club….
Top 5 most powerful elves?
I’d say Feanor, Galadriel, Fingolfin, Thingol (debatable, but I assume he’s the most powerful Sindar cause he’s their king), and Gil-Galad.
Agree with LegolasGreenleaf333. What about Turgon of Gondolin or Finrod Felagund? They were both well known as great warriors (probably high level fighters).

I still like Legolas purely for this.
I was going off the books where Legolas isn’t that special. If the movies count, Legolas would definitely make top 5 most powerful just cause he’s…. Legolas.
If one has to choose, Lúthien Is almost certainly the winner of the contest, provided her half-Maiar blood does not disqualify her from consideration. She successful uses her magic to enchant Morgath and his entire court, and, though exercise of such power costs her deeply, still constitutes the single largest display of elvish power in the canon.
But therein lies the interesting discussion - Tolkien’s canon is a rather unreliable narrator. Each different work is wildly different in theme, tone, and mechanism for storytelling. They are designed not to be a true history, but a piecemeal mythology, each work written as if completely distinct from the others; as if written by different authors writing at different times, as is the case with our record for any mythology.
Therein lies Tolkien’s true mastery - not in consistent characterisation of individuals and feats of power, able to be compared, but in the futility of such comparison. He was able to create a body of work that seemed to exist organically as a collection of related works, not the brainchild of a single author - a feat few other others attempt, and none as successfully.

Oh right… I forgot Luthien. Kick Cirdan out and put her in.

Honestly? No clue. But I have a question for any Pokémon fans here… what Pokémon would LotR characters have? I’m thinking Gandalf would have a Delphox or Alakazam.
Does anyone care? Are my questions THAT pointless?
One should never assume personal slight when other explanations - lack of knowledge of Pokémon, generally being busy, etc. - could more easily be the culprit for silence!
I know that, for myself, I was fairly busy when you asked the question, and I am a few generations behind on my Pokémon lore, so not sure I have much to contribute (I stated in Red/Blue, but stopped after the absolutely terrible Sun/Moon).
So, take heart, and maybe be a little less quick to the draw on self-degradation. Life is happier that way!

Sorry. I would’ve answered your question but idk anything about Pokémon.

Frodo would obviously have Eevee, AKA, "technically a flavor." Sauron would have Yveltal. And Pippin would have diabetes.

I wasn’t that offended by your reply until you called Sun and Moon “terrible”. Alola to you!
I’m just kidding. I may LOVE Alola, but your obviously entitled to your own opinions.
Well, it's not really the point of this thread, but I am glad at least someone liked those games; you are the first and thus far only person I have ever met with that opinion! I'd be curious as to your reasons if you want to PM me them.

Tar-Palantir. Were all Numenorean monarchs male?
