Hi Mevans, I just wanted to suggest creating a stawpoll on Dorwinion Merchants travelling to Eriador, here's why : -the community is kind of divided between yes and no : -Arguments for the No-Faction : "In the Hobbit, the wine of Thranduil and its origin was unknown to Bilbo and it had to be explained. Therefore it should be unknown to Eriador ." -Arguments for the Yes-Faction : The Dorwinion Elves are aware of their kin in the West, that means that they have regular contact with the Galadhrim and High-Elves : "Our kin in the West think we are lesser, because we have not seen the light of the Two Trees. But I say, these lands are beauty enough for me ." Bilbo also had contact with Elves, those Elves are clearly from the East, they could be from Rivendell, Lothlorien, or Dorwinion. I would say that in Eriador beer, ale, meed and cider were the predominant drinks, as I noticed in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. But from my point of view a huge Trading Power wont't be stopped by a forest or a mountain range .
