Thorin: 'Looking for food and drink, because we were starving.' Thranduil: 'What were you doing in the forest?' They were sent to the dungeon as well, in separate cells and unaware that Thorin was captured. When the party proved uncooperative with Thranduil's questioning, he accused them of wandering in his kingdom without leave, interrupting their feast, and stirring up trouble with spiders. The rest of the party was captured shortly after and brought before Thranduil.

He provided no information when interrogated, and Thranduil, in turn, sent him to the dungeon cave 'not too gently, for they did not love Dwarves and thought he was an enemy'. In this manner was Thorin separated from the company, and captured by Thranduil. Different members of the party tried to enter the clearing where the feast was being held, but each time darkness would fall and the interrupter fell into a deep sleep. When Thorin II Oakenshield and company entered northern Mirkwood, the party encountered visions of a feast in the woods, which unknown to them was Thranduil's court. In his realm, both Sindarin and Silvan Elvish were spoken, though not all members of his Woodland folk spoke Sindarin. By the time of the events of The Lord of the Rings, Thranduil's title was King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood. The Wood-elves of Mirkwood were reduced in number and retreated to lands in the north of Mirkwood. Under his malign influence the Greenwood grew dark, becoming known as Mirkwood, and infested with Orcs and giant spiders. He claimed his inheritance and became King of the Woodland Realm, reigning over the whole of Greenwood the Great.Īs the Third Age progressed, however, a sorcerer known as the Necromancer (later revealed to be Sauron returned) took over the abandoned Elven fortress of Amon Lanc and turned it into Dol Guldur.

Oropher was slain and Thranduil returned to Greenwood with roughly a third of the army that had marched to war. In SA 3434, Thranduil and his father fought in the Battle of Dagorlad. At the beginning of the Second Age, some Sindar traveled east and Oropher eventually founded the Elven realm in Greenwood the Great. He was born during the First Age, and lived in Doriath at some point prior to the Second Kinslaying. Thranduil was the only son of Oropher, King of the Woodland Realm.
