== Change re. mallorn-trees in Valinor? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In &#039;&#039;Fellowship&#039;&#039;, Haldir says he hasn’t heard that there are mellyrn in the West:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;“Alas for Lothlórien that I love! It would be a poor life in a land where no mallorn grew. But if there are mallorn-trees beyond the Great Sea, none have reported it.”&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is that worth mentioning? It seems to show a change in JRRT’s thinking. If the mallorn originally came from Valinor, you’d think Haldir would know it—why would Galadriel keep that a secret? [[User:Shoutingboy|Shoutingboy]] ([[User talk:Shoutingboy|talk]]) 06:40, 5 July 2023 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;A Description of the Island of Númenor,&amp;quot; probably written about 1960 and published in &#039;&#039;Unfinished Tales&#039;&#039;, makes it clear that mallorn do originate in Valinor.&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;All about that place, up the seaward slopes and far into the land, grew the evergreen and fragrant trees that they brought out of the West, and so throve there that the Eldar said that almost it was fair as a haven in Eressëa. They were the greatest delight of Númenor, and they were remembered in many songs long after they had perished for ever, for few ever flowered east of the Land of Gift: oiolairë and lairelossë, nessamelda, vardarianna, taniquelassë, and yavannamírë with its globed and scarlet fruits.... only here grew the mighty golden tree malinornë, reaching after five centuries a height scarce less than it achieved in Eressëa itself. Its bark was silver and smooth, and its boughs somewhat upswept after the manner of the beech; but it never grew save with a single trunk. Its leaves, like those of the beech but greater, were pale green above and beneath were silver, glistering in the sun; in the autumn they did not fall, but turned to pale gold. In the spring it bore golden blossom in clusters like a cherry, which bloomed on during the summer; and as soon as the flowers opened the leaves fell, so that through spring and summer a grove of malinorni was carpeted and roofed with gold, but its pillars were of grey silver.1 Its fruit was a nut with a silver shale; and some were given as a gift by Tar-Aldarion, the sixth King of Númenor, to King Gil-galad of Lindon. They did not take root in that land; but Gil-galad gave some to his kinswoman Galadriel, and under her power they grew and flourished in the guarded land of Lothlórien beside the River Anduin, until the High Elves at last left Middle-earth; but they did not reach the height or girth of the great groves of Númenor.&#039;&#039; [[User:Cesinde|Cesinde]] ([[User talk:Cesinde|talk]]) 06:56, 9 July 2023 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;m just saying, at the time Tolkien wrote FOTR, that text seems to indicate that he thought mellyrn were indigenous to Middle-earth, and he changed his mind later.

::::I agree that it&#039;s ambiguous! I&#039;m just saying, Haldir had no idea whether there were mellyrn in the West. He might not have been close to Galadriel but he&#039;d been there a long time, and given how important mellyrn were, you&#039;d think she would have said at some point &amp;quot;I brought the first acorns here&amp;quot; vs. &amp;quot;they were here when I got here&amp;quot;. From what he said, it sounds like JRRT&#039;s idea at the time was that they were native to Lothlorien.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;mallorn&#039;&#039;&#039; (pl. &#039;&#039;&#039;mellyrn&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=HCM&amp;gt;See [[Letter to H. Cotton Minchin (16 April 1956)]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) was a kind of large tree growing in [[Valinor]], [[Númenor]] and the [[Westlands]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
Mellyrn are trees of immense size, especially when growing on Númenor. They are also described as similar to [[birches]]: their bark was smooth and silver-grey, and the leaves were green on top and silver underneath; they turned golden in autumn and remained on the tree through the winter to fall to cover the ground in the spring, when new leaves sprouted. Golden flowers bloomed on the branches.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{UT|Numenor}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trunk of the tree divided to a crown of many branches, and the [[Galadhrim]] used the space to build &#039;&#039;[[telain]]&#039;&#039; (a sort of platform) or buildings on the top of the trees.&amp;lt;ref name=lor/&amp;gt; The leaves also had practical uses, such as for packing rations of &#039;&#039;[[lembas]]&#039;&#039;. The Galadhrim used the inner bark to make &#039;&#039;[[hithlain]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TI|XIII}}, p. 251; see also the Talk page for [[hithlain]].&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Frodo Baggins]] explained that he could feel the life of the tree when he touched a mallorn in [[Lothlórien]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Decipher - Mallorn Tree.jpg|thumb|left|&#039;&#039;Mallorn Tree&#039;&#039; in &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game]]&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Mallorn-trees originally grew in [[Valinor]] and from there were spread to [[Tol Eressëa]] by the [[Elves]] once the Lonely Isle was moved to its final position by [[Ulmo]]. The Elves of Tol Eressëa brought mallorn-trees to the [[Men]] of [[Númenor]] and they grew on the shores around the [[Bay of Eldanna]] in that land.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Even [[Tar-Aldarion]], the great Ship-King, did not cut down these trees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mallorn-nuts were given by Tar-Aldarion to his friend [[Gil-galad]], the Noldorin King of [[Lindon]]. The mellyrn did not grow in Lindon, but [[Galadriel]] took some nuts with her to [[Lothlórien]], where they grew to immense heights (but not as great as the groves of Númenor).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Lothlórien became known as the &#039;&#039;Golden Wood&#039;&#039; because of them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Concerning}}, note 5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Caras Galadhon]], the city of Galadriel and [[Celeborn]] in Lothlórien, was built in the branches of huge mallorn-trees. The [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] spent the night in a [[Telain|flet]] in a mallorn-tree nearby, and were later given [[lembas]] wrapped in mallorn-leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=lor&amp;gt;{{FR|II7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Galadriel gave [[Samwise Gamgee]] a box of soil containing a single silver mallorn nut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After the [[War of the Ring]] and the [[Scouring of the Shire]], Sam planted the nut in the [[Party Field]] where [[the Party Tree]] had stood before its felling. It was the only mallorn-tree in Middle-earth outside of Lórien. When the tree bloomed in the next summer it was said that all the Shire became golden from the flowers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{RK|VI9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The word comes from &#039;&#039;[[malt]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;gold&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;[[orn]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;tree&amp;quot;). In [[Gondor Sindarin]] the same word was pronounced &#039;&#039;Malthorn&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;VT4227&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{VT|42a}}, p. 27&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Carl F. Hostetter]], &#039;&#039;[http://www.elvish.org/Tengwestie/articles/Hostetter/sindll.phtml The Two Phonetic Values of &#039;&#039;ll&#039;&#039; in Elvish Sindarin in &#039;&#039;The Lord of the Rings&#039;&#039;]&#039;&#039;, published on [http://www.elvish.org/Tengwestie/ Tengwestië], [[7 December|December 7]], [[2003]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Malinornë&#039;&#039;&#039; is the [[Quenya]] translation of [[Mallorn]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Numenor}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses outside the Legendarium==&lt;br /&gt;
By [[1956]] Tolkien had been informed about &amp;quot;a new house far away [that] has been called &#039;&#039;The Mallorns&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; — regrettably, Tolkien noted, as the correct [[Sindarin]] plural would be &#039;&#039;mellyrn&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=HCM/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Mallorn (journal)|Mallorn]]&#039;&#039; is also the journal published by [[The Tolkien Society]].&lt;br /&gt;
==Portrayal in adaptations==&lt;br /&gt;

:Mallorn trees are the core buildings in the [[Elves|elven]] faction, as they produce  resources needed for constructing buildings and recruiting troops. When a mallorn tree reaches level 3, a tower is automatically constructed atop of the tree, where an elven archer is placed.&lt;br /&gt;

The Elves of Tol Eressëa brought mallorn-trees to the [[Men]] of [[Númenor]] and they grew on the shores around the [[Bay of Eldanna]] in that land.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Even [[Tar-Aldarion]], the great Ship-King, did not cut down these trees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mallorn-nuts were given by Tar-Aldarion to his friend [[Gil-galad]], the Noldorin King of [[Lindon]]. The mellyrn did not grow in Lindon, but [[Galadriel]] took some nuts with her to [[Lothlórien]], where they grew to immense heights (but not as great as the groves of Númenor).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Lothlórien became known as the &#039;&#039;Golden Wood&#039;&#039; because of them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Concerning}}, note 5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Caras Galadhon]], the city of Galadriel and [[Celeborn]] in Lothlórien, was built in the branches of huge mallorn-trees. The [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] spent the night in a [[Telain|flet]] in a mallorn-tree nearby, and were later given [[lembas]] wrapped in mallorn-leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=lor&amp;gt;{{FR|II7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Galadriel gave [[Samwise Gamgee]] a box of soil containing a single silver mallorn nut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After the [[War of the Ring]] and the [[Scouring of the Shire]], Sam planted the nut in the [[Party Field]] where [[the Party Tree]] had stood before its felling. It was the only mallorn-tree in Middle-earth outside of Lórien. When the tree bloomed in the next summer it was said that all the Shire became golden from the flowers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{RK|VI9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The word comes from &#039;&#039;[[malt]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;gold&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;[[orn]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;tree&amp;quot;). In [[Gondor Sindarin]] the same word was pronounced &#039;&#039;Malthorn&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;VT4227&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{VT|42a}}, p. 27&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Carl F.

By [[1956]] Tolkien had been informed about &amp;quot;a new house far away [that] has been called &#039;&#039;The Mallorns&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; — regrettably, Tolkien noted, as the correct [[Sindarin]] plural would be &#039;&#039;mellyrn&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=HCM/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;==Source of Mallorn Fiber==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tolkien makes clear references to the use of mallorn bast fiber, in the same way as the inner bark/bast fibers of various trees such as linden and willow have been used for millenia in Europe and elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the HME Vol VII, &#039;&#039;The Treason of Isengard&#039;&#039;, &amp;quot;Galadriel,&amp;quot; page 249:   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;This is a convenient place to set out my father&#039;s original scheme for the next part of the story.  This was written at furious speed but has fortunately proved almost entirely decipherable.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hithlain&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was a strong fibre made from the inner bark (bast) of &#039;&#039;[[mallorn]]&#039;&#039; trees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TI|XIII}}, p. 251&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  It was grey and felt silky.  The [[Galadhrim]] of [[Lothlórien]] used it to make [[Elven rope|ropes]], which were flexible and light, yet extremely robust. It may also have been used in the creation of the grey [[Elven cloaks]] of Lothlórien.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] and [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] climbed down a cliff of the [[Emyn Muil]] with the help of a &#039;&#039;hithlain&#039;&#039; rope, which Sam tied to a stump at the top.  When Sam tugged the rope in annoyance that they&#039;d have to leave it and it would help Gollum get down, it came loose and fell on him.  Frodo thought Sam had tied it badly, but Sam thought it came because he called it.&amp;lt;ref name=Taming&amp;gt;{{TT|IV1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Frodo and Sam tied their Elven rope around [[Gollum]]&#039;s ankle he screamed in pain.  Apparently the material, or as Gollum claimed, the fact that Elves made it caused him agony when it touched him.&amp;lt;ref name=Taming/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;ve been a Tolkien geek since I was 14, and I&#039;m over 60 now.  I&#039;m more interested in the legendarium than the matter of the Rings, but I love it all.&lt;br /&gt;

I&#039;m also a textile geek.  One way in which I was drawn to a deeper study of JRRT&#039;s work was through recognizing the undercurrent of textile activity in his works that is traceable to heroic literature.  It is lightly mentioned, but it is there.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;{{quote|‘What are these?’ asked Sam, handling one that lay upon the greensward. ‘Ropes indeed!’ answered an Elf from the boats. ‘Never travel far without a rope! And one that is long and strong and light. Such are these. They may be a help in many needs.’|[[The Fellowship of the Ring]], [[Farewell to Lórien]]}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:John Howe - Elven rope.jpg|thumb|[[John Howe]] - &#039;&#039;Elven rope&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Elven rope&#039;&#039;&#039; was a rope made by the [[Elves]] of [[Lothlórien]]. During the [[War of the Ring]], when the [[Fellowship of the Ring|Company of the Ring]] were set to depart from Lothlórien, the [[Galadhrim]] presented them with many gifts, to aid them in their quest. Among the gifts there were coils of rope. The rope was slender, but strong, silken to the touch, and grey of hue like the elven-cloaks and was able to withstand the greatest weight. The rope was made of &#039;&#039;[[hithlain]]&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, which was a strong fibre made from the inner bark of &#039;&#039;[[mallorn]]&#039;&#039; trees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TI|XIII}}, p. 251&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, when [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] and [[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] needed to descend a cliff in the [[Emyn Muil]], Sam remembered the Elven rope he was carrying and unpacked it for the task.  When Sam measured it, it came to 30 ells&amp;lt;ref group=&amp;quot;note&amp;quot;&amp;gt;An &amp;quot;[[Wikipedia:ell|ell]]&amp;quot; was a unit of measurement, approximately the length of a man&#039;s arm.  Since Sam measured it &amp;quot;with his &#039;&#039;&#039;arms&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot; it may have been the Hobbit equivalent of a &amp;quot;fathom&amp;quot;, the distance of a man&#039;s two arms.  The English ell was usually 45 inches; if this was the length that Sam used then the Elven rope was 112.5 feet long.  However, the value of the ell varied considerably from country to country in Europe and even within England.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; in length, which was enough for them to reach the bottom of the drop.  After they had made the descent Sam gave the rope a last tug and the startled hobbits watched as the rope slithered down.  It showed no signs of having frayed so it was Sam&#039;s belief that the rope untied itself.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TT|IV1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;mallorn&#039;&#039;&#039; (pl. &#039;&#039;&#039;mellyrn&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;ref name=HCM&amp;gt;See [[Letter to H. Cotton Minchin (16 April 1956)]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;) was a kind of large tree growing in [[Valinor]], [[Númenor]] and the [[Westlands]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
Mellyrn are trees of immense size, especially when growing on Númenor. They are also described as similar to [[birches]]: their bark was smooth and silver-grey, and the leaves were green on top and silver underneath; they turned golden in autumn and remained on the tree through the winter to fall to cover the ground in the spring, when new leaves sprouted. Golden flowers bloomed on the branches.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{UT|Numenor}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The trunk of the tree divided to a crown of many branches, and the [[Galadhrim]] used the space to build &#039;&#039;[[telain]]&#039;&#039; (a sort of platform) or buildings on the top of the trees.&amp;lt;ref name=lor/&amp;gt; The leaves also had practical uses, such as for packing rations of &#039;&#039;[[lembas]]&#039;&#039;. The Galadhrim used the inner bark (bast) to make &#039;&#039;[[hithlain]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TI|XIII}}, p. 251&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Frodo Baggins]] explained that he could feel the life of the tree when he touched a mallorn in [[Lothlórien]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II6}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Decipher - Mallorn Tree.jpg|thumb|left|&#039;&#039;Mallorn Tree&#039;&#039; in &#039;&#039;[[The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game]]&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Mallorn-trees originally grew in [[Valinor]] and from there were spread to [[Tol Eressëa]] by the [[Elves]] once the Lonely Isle was moved to its final position by [[Ulmo]]. The Elves of Tol Eressëa brought mallorn-trees to the [[Men]] of [[Númenor]] and they grew on the shores around the [[Bay of Eldanna]] in that land.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Even [[Tar-Aldarion]], the great Ship-King, did not cut down these trees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mallorn-nuts were given by Tar-Aldarion to his friend [[Gil-galad]], the Noldorin King of [[Lindon]]. The mellyrn did not grow in Lindon, but [[Galadriel]] took some nuts with her to [[Lothlórien]], where they grew to immense heights (but not as great as the groves of Númenor).&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Numenor&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; Lothlórien became known as the &#039;&#039;Golden Wood&#039;&#039; because of them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{UT|Concerning}}, note 5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Caras Galadhon]], the city of Galadriel and [[Celeborn]] in Lothlórien, was built in the branches of huge mallorn-trees. The [[Fellowship of the Ring|Fellowship]] spent the night in a [[Telain|flet]] in a mallorn-tree nearby, and were later given [[lembas]] wrapped in mallorn-leaves.&amp;lt;ref name=lor&amp;gt;{{FR|II7}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It was the only mallorn-tree in Middle-earth outside of Lórien. When the tree bloomed in the next summer it was said that all the Shire became golden from the flowers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{RK|VI9}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Etymology==&lt;br /&gt;
The word comes from &#039;&#039;[[malt]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;gold&amp;quot;) and &#039;&#039;[[orn]]&#039;&#039; (&amp;quot;tree&amp;quot;). In [[Gondor Sindarin]] the same word was pronounced &#039;&#039;Malthorn&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;VT4227&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{VT|42a}}, p. 27&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[[Carl F.

&lt;div&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Hithlain&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; was a strong fibre made from the inner bark (bast) of &#039;&#039;[[mallorn]]&#039;&#039; trees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{TI|XIII}}, p. 251&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  It was grey and felt silky.  The [[Galadhrim]] of [[Lothlórien]] used it to make [[Elven rope|ropes]], which were flexible and light, yet extremely robust. It may also have been used in the creation of the grey [[Elven cloaks]] of Lothlórien.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{FR|II8}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Samwise Gamgee|Sam]] and [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] climbed down a cliff of the [[Emyn Muil]] with the help of a &#039;&#039;hithlain&#039;&#039; rope, which Sam tied to a stump at the top.  When Sam tugged the rope in annoyance that they&#039;d have to leave it and it would help Gollum get down, it came loose and fell on him.  Frodo thought Sam had tied it badly, but Sam thought it came because he called it.&amp;lt;ref name=Taming&amp;gt;{{TT|IV1}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Frodo and Sam tied their Elven rope around [[Gollum]]&#039;s ankle he screamed in pain.  Apparently the material, or as Gollum claimed, the fact that Elves made it caused him agony when it touched him.&amp;lt;ref name=Taming/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
