Thranduil was king of the elves of Mirkwood during the quest of Thorin Oakenshield ’s fellowship . Elrond was always welcoming and generous . He hosted Thorin ’s company and held the Council of Elrond where the Fellowship of the Ring was formed .

Thranduil has been definitely less hospitable . During the third agem he kept Mirkwood isolationist and imprisoned Thorin ’s society when they fare upon his territory .

For some reason , we get to see much more   elf with non - elf duo in theLord of the Ringsmovies than elf with elf couples .

It seemed as though there may have been some attractive feature between Legolas and Tauriel inThe Hobbitmovies .   However , Thranduil was n’t concerned in his son being drink to a small silvan elf .

Hueco - mundoof Deviant Art patently had different idea . Here we see not only Legolas and Tauriel as a twain , but with a son . He is n’t named in the patch , but he ’s catch his mother ’s wild hair and his father ’s penchant for archery .
