Why does Gandalf have one of the three Elven rings?
As they were made to ward off the effects of time, at best the rings could give the wielder extra stamina and endurance, as Cirdan stated when he gave Narya to Gandalf. The ring was revealed on Gandalf’s finger at the Grey Havens, where he bore it back to the Undying Lands and presumably kept it as a relic.
Where was Thranduil during the events of Lord of the Rings?
Mirkwood
After the fall of Sauron, Thranduil fixed the southern boundary of his realm as the Mountains of Mirkwood, and his realm flourished well into the Fourth Age. He may have stayed on as the king of the Great Forest or left Middle-earth and departed to the Undying Lands.
Why did Thranduil not get a ring?
Because Thranduil was too insignificant to have one. When the Elven-Smiths created the Three Rings, Thranduil was merely the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Greenwood the Great. The king of the kingdom was Oropher, who was not a Noldo (High Elf) and was known as very rash king and suspicious on Noldor.

Why don’t elves and dwarves get along in The Lord of the Rings?
There has so far been no real explanation for why Elves and Dwarves don’t get along in Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth, except for Thranduil’s snub at the destruction of Erebor. That seems to serve as the root cause for Elf-Dwarf hatred, but Thranduil’s conversation with Thorin leads me to believe that Peter Jackson has something else in mind.
Why didn’t The Fellowship of the Ring pass through the Woodland Realm?
