But I think our world is... comparatively younger? I'm sure even we elves will be little more than myth, eventually. But my grandfather, for example, is one of the Unbegotten, the very first of the Elves to awaken in those days when the only light was the stars - I am only three generations removed from that very early beginning! But even by our reckoning, that was a long time ago - Men no longer recall their first days any longer, and as my people leave the shores of Middle-earth, I think we will also gradually be forgotten. For most folk here, I'm sure the beginnings of their worlds are too far back to know.
