| | Anor ah Ithil |
 | | Oropher sensed that she was one who was possessed of great wisdom and compassion to whom he could speak freely, and he decided to take her into his confidence, for he sorely needed someone to talk to at this moment. | | | Oropher was so entranced with these rustic people that he had taken the time to learn their language that, as far as he was concerned, possessed a simple yet elegant beauty. | | | "Oropher, this is Amiel, the daughter of one of the Sindar nobles who once resided in Doriath," said Tariel as she introduced her companion. |

| | The Twilight and the Green - part 2 |
| | The burrow thwarted Oropher's eyes even more than it did his ears for, though elven eyes could see nearly as far by starlight as they did in the noonday, there was no light at all beneath the earth. | | | Not for the first time that day, Oropher was bothered by the thought that he did not know his son's heart as well as he had assumed. | | | He was accustomed to thinking of himself as a steady man of strong mettle, and it was not an inaccurate self-image. |

| | Anor ah Ithil |
| | Oropher himself was considered slightly peculiar — how else would one describe an elf whose fervent espousal of the Nandor elves bordered on the obsessive. | | | Oropher chuckled, his anger leaving him as quickly as it had come. | | | Oropher was Galathil’s brother-in-law and no relation to Celeborn after all. |

| | Oropher had all but struck him dumb when leaving the family bathing pool, seeming like some type of golden god, with sunlight caressing the perfect lines of his body and that bright mane falling unbound almost to his knees. | | | He did not bother to explain to Oropher that Elrond, despite his undoubted charms, was not the point. | | | Oropher did not flinch as Erestor's hands ran appreciatively over his body, reveling in finally having those smooth muscles under his control. |

| | Stories of Arda |
| | This story was such a great way of showing a little of the reasons behind what Oropher will do later and you create an amazing picture of his closeness to all of nature as well as his love of the Silvan elves and their way of life. | | | As for Oropher, well I like to think that Thranduil inherited his temperament, and Legolas his love of nature. | | | Imagine being in the middle of that argument and having Oropher appeal to him for his support. |

| | The Twilight and the Green - part 1 |
| | The archer might have appeared nearly grown to the eyes of any Man, and it was an appearance he would keep for many years yet, but Thranduil, son of Oropher, had walked Middle Earth for only twenty-five years and was scarce half-grown by the standards of his people. | | | Meilan's Girdle is no more, and fell creatures are able to trespass into Doriath these days." Oropher's speech was terse and, with the hard look on his face, warned his son against arguement. | | | Giving in to his temper, the young Elf stomped one foot, sending mud up from the trampled, slush-covered ground to spray his boots and the hem of his cloak. |

| | It is sad to know that Oropher will lose two thirds of his warriors, and himself, and Amdir half of *his*, and his own life, precisely *because* they are not as well armed as the Noldor *and* becuse both kings and their people are not willing to bow to Gil-Galad. | | | He's another character that, like Oropher before this story, you allude to enough that we get some sense of his relationship to Celeborn, but nothing very concrete. | | | She stole their 'brother', she turned him away from the Sindar, because of her he would not take on Elu's role as the father of his people. |

| | Oropher may think the worst, but my people of Lorinand have come to know you over the last four hundred years, and they honour and love you. | | | Like Oropher, he wore the fashions of the Silvan folk, but his were scattered with gems as the fallen dew, and seemed - to Amdir's eye - more princely, less needlessly austere than his father's. | | | Death filled his nostrils like water, and he heard from afar the voice of Oropher calling out from a barren land, where his bones lay in a pit beneath the moon. |

| | According to “The Unfinished Tales,” Oropher had withdrawn there to be free from the power and encroachments of the Dwarves of Moria. | | | Those were ruled by the Noldorin Exiles, for whom the folk of Doriath had no great love, and Oropher could never understand how Celeborn could have forsaken their own people and bound himself to the Lady Galadriel. | | | Ivonwin was Celebwen, the only female grandchild of King Oropher, and the only one of his grandchildren who inherited his silver hair. |

| | That's why Oropher's grandson Legolas thinks of himself as a Silvan Elf, rather than one of the Sindar. | | | Tolkien touches on this question in his Letters, where he describes Legolas as '...a Woodland Elf, though one of royal and originally Sindarin line.' (The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien No 297, dated 1967, our italics). | | | The explanation for this is found in the History of Galadriel and Celeborn (in Unfinished Tales), where there's a brief account of the arrival of Thranduil's father Oropher among the Silvan Elves of Greenwood the Great. |

| | In this way the "independent-minded" Silvan Elves would be in a position to support Gil-galad without being hemmed in by his own forces. | | | There is really no text which tells how Gil-galad persuaded Oropher and Amdir to join the Alliance. | | | The inference of Edhellond's participation in the war is supported only by one passage in "Of The Rings Of Power And The Third Age": "All living things were divided in that day, and some of every kind, even of beasts and birds, were found in either host, save the Elves only. |

| | Their history of fleeing from Sauron's darkness had made them a suspicious and unwelcoming people, as Thorin and his companions discovered during the Quest of Erebor. | | | In the later years of the Third Age, their King Thranduil (the son of Oropher, who was slain in the War of the Last Alliance) dwelt with his people in the far northeast of Mirkwood, in underground dwellings protected by magic. | | | Though his identity remained secret during this time (he was known simply as the 'Necromancer') he brought darkness and shadow to Greenwood the Great, and the Elves retreated farther still. |
