((Elrond apped with permission by the other LotR muns. He's got pretty mad powers, but, they're of a subtle nature. He's somewhere below Glorfindel in power, but above the average elf, and has one of the Three Rings of the Elves, Vilya, the Ring of Air. What Vilya specifically does isn't mentioned anywhere I'm aware of, but, it seems reasonable to

"Who is this 'Dark Lord' you mention? Does he practice the Dark Arts? You know, they won't teach those here." Igor sighed. "No proper machinery either, but other than that, this is a wonderful place. Do you need anything?"

"Yes, the Dark Lord, Sauron, practices dark arts. His ways are not the ways of my people, or of any free person. I would think that not teaching such ways is a good thing." Those who followed his ways were corrupt and twisted from what they should have been, such as the Orcs, said to have once been Elves, but twisted by Melkor, Sauron's once-Master. So Elrond was suspicious of this Gollumish person. "I thank you for the offer, but, I believe I will need to learn where I am before I learn what I will need."

"As for houses, I suppose it's for organization. The groups live in different places, but otherwise they're free to move as they like. I've even been to see Ravenclaw's lab.
Maybe it has to do with sport as well. Each house has its own colors and its own team, or so I've heard."

He listened quietly to the explanation about houses, and nodded slightly. "It makes sense to have houses if there is to be some sort of sportsman-like competition here. But, I know little about schools, so, perhaps there are other reasons too." He smiled thankfully at the strange-looking little man- although his initial comment about the dark arts may have been a bit unfortunate, Elrond sense that this was not a being with ill will. He just might have a tendency to be indiscriminately helpful.

You'll probably have to stay here until you are placed in a house, so do you mind if I go ahead and vote? What is your preference? The loyal are placed in Hufflepuff (my own house), the brave in Griffindor, the wise in Ravenclaw, and the cunning in Slytheryn."
He tilted his head. "I voted for your friend to go into Griffindor- maybe you would like to join him?"
