Spoilers: For the stories of Oropher and Thranduil, yes.
Summary: Every day, I will tell a little of the story of Bellothia, cook for the house of Oropher.

Part Six
The Dark Lord was stirring. Everyone knew it; everyone feared it.
Rumors had come from the outside that Sauron was gathering his forces in Mordor. Thranduil was anxious to fight in this war though he had little regard for Gil-galad and Elrond, not to mention the man, Elendil.
“Son, we have no business fighting their war. They are Noldor. Let them fight,” Oropher stated at dinner when his son mentioned joining forces with the other elves to fight against their common enemy, indeed the enemy of all that was good in Middle Earth.
“But we must fight to protect our people,” Thranduil pleaded.
“And we will. If he comes here, we will.”
Gil-galad sent an emissary, a dark crow of an elf, one who seemed more suited to dusty library shelves than diplomacy. But when this elf left, he’d somehow convinced Oropher that the elves of the Green Wood needed to join the rest of the free people in this war, this attempt to unseat the evil minion of Morgoth.
And so it was that they began to train and make weapons. Every elf who would come was pressed into service for king and country.
Into war they all marched.
