Why Were the High Elves So Powerful? Middle-earth Explained

The High Elves of the Elder Days were far more powerful than later Elves and those who only dwelt in Middle-earth, but why is that the case? This video explores the answer to that question! Thank you all so much for watching, let me know your thoughts on this conversation about the High Elves in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
