What we have always known to be true, and what we have been endeavouring to protect the Warhammer World and other adjacent reality systems from all these years:
The last thing the woman from Northeast Portland probably expected when she got up Tuesday morning was that she would be attacked by a sword-wielding elf.
But that's what happened around 7 a.m. as she drove her red BMW by the intersection of Southeast 7th and Morrison.
A man dressed in chain-mail with a helmet, shield and carrying a sword and staff ran into traffic and started attacking her car.
She called 911, reporting that "a pirate" was attacking her car.
When police got there, they detained Konrad Bass of Glendale, Oregon.
Bass told officers that he wasn't a pirate but a "high-elf engaged in battle with the evil Morgoth."
Morgoth is a character created by JRR Tolkien in a prequel to the Lord of the Rings stories. In the stories, he is the character from which all evil grew.
Bass, who was cited for criminal mischief and transported to Providence Hospital, also told officers he had taken LSD.
The woman's car had several puncture marks.

I will have to agree with TD on this. Living right across the river from Portland I can tell you that Oregon is the American home of the wood elves. lots of hippies dancing and doing drugs in the forests.

1) The woman reported an attack by a 'pirate'. Obviously she thought the assailant was one of our noble Corsairs. Since it was indeed a High Elf the fair damsel was an idiot to make such an error.
2) Understanding the High Elf had ASF her car (the chariot he was assaulting) should have gotten impact hits and everyone know those go BEFORE ASF!
I find this story somewhat dubious.
p.s. Rumor has it that Konrad Bass will be starring in Peter Jackson's next trilogy of films in his effort to milk the Tolkien World of everything he can.

A Silmarillion trilogy, really?

The dude turned the single book of The Hobbit into a trilogy of movies!
