My friend and I are writing a fanfiction and we are including the feast from the book, the one before the council of Elrond, but we don't have the lord of the rings books so we're not sure whether or not Elrond makes a speech before the feast or as they move to the hall of fire. (not sure if that's really what its called) If he does make a speech and you have the book or know the jist of it it would help us a lot if you wrote it in your answer! Thanks!
