....is not a question of my concern. It's rather the other way round. 
Greetings rulers of the neutral nations,
The great war has begun and the free people would like to exchange messengers
with the Dunlendings, Rhudaur, Easterlings, Corsairs and Harad.
The silence between our people has lasted too long already.
We await your messengers with open halls and tables laden with the finest
food.
    Elrond of the Noldo Elves
