Why were the travelers actually glad to be captured by the Wood-elves in The Hobbit?
They were tired and hungry with no food or water. At least with the elves, they were fed.Because they had lost their way in Mirkwood and were on the brink of starvation.
In The Hobbit where is the elves' wine made?
In the Hobbit, King Thranduil of Mirkwood, the Wood Elves' king, liked his wine from Dorwinion. His wine was also imported by the Elves of Mirkwood in barrels down the Forest River from Long lake.
Why did the elvish-looking folk disappear when the dwarves went running into their camp?
If you are referring to the book "The Hobbit," we aren't told exactly. We do know that elves and dwarves had a long-standing grudge against each other. But it does seem as if the elves were trying to trap them, or at least to create an excuse for taking them prisoner. The elves in "The Hobbit" were more like the elves in Celtic folklore - silly, tricky, deceitful little fairies - than the regal, mysterious elves in "The Lord of the Rings." Legolas was a Mirkwood elf, one of the people that the dwarves encountered in "The Hobbit," and was not considered the equal of the Lorien elves.
Where did the elves go after departing on the ship?
The Elves leaving Middle-earth by ship forever go to the lands of Aman, to the west beyond the Great Sea. There are the lands Valinor and Eldamar, and the isle Tol Eressea. It is the home of the Valar (spirits comparable to minor gods or angels), who a very long time ago invited the Elves to come and live in their lands, and the Elves have been following that call ever since.
Why is there a feud between the elves and dwarves?
There was not always animosity between the Elves and the Dwarves. Dwarves made the best armour and the elves often traded and bought and sold. The entrance was the primary access point for their dealings, and was placed their mostly for the purpose of the elves. The elves of Eregion were great craftsmen, and they traded and worked with the dwarves of Moria, and there was great friendship. This ended when Sauron revealed himself, slew the elves' king, Celebrimbor, and the Gates of Moria were shut.
