Figwit isn't really an elfname, more like a use name. Glorfindel should have been there, true. Finding a man who could glow with that much power would be tough (and would have made Aragorn look pretty second-rate). As one of the High Elves who'd been in the West, he'd have almost as much status and power as Galadriel, and would have ranked over Legolas who was only the son of the King of the Wood Elves... an entire group of middle-class elves. I can understand why he was cut. It is harder to understand why the sons of Elrond were cut. Of course, with new lighting goodies, we might have ways to make our elves even more magical without resorting to plugins and postwork. Carolly
