ETA - I meant 'hookah' in the comment about the Cernunnos image, not 'bong.' Word usage fail. D= In any case, Thranduil and his folk could probably get good mileage out of either device.
True that he doesn't look traditionally sylvan. It strikes me that I didn't have that thought because I instinctively associated his look with something a bit like this except a bit colder/further along toward winter.
I don't follow elves, so someone who knows something can enlighten me...
Yes, this. A cursory investigation into Thranduil says that he lived in Doriath (whose king essentially perished for love of particular bling) during the First Age, but I don't understand all the Elven lineages and cultures enough to fully appreciate the implications of that.
