LOTR: Where Was Thranduil During The War Of The One Ring?

The Lord of the Rings fans famously know of Legolas and his exploits, as they favor him above most other Elves from the hefty tomes. They’re also familiar with Elrond, Arwen, Galadriel, and Haldir. However, Thranduil, a lesser known Elf, plays a significant role in the lore of The Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy slightly exagerrates characteristics and actions of this great Elf King, introducing a mere facsimile of what he is in the books.
