On the other hand, if you gain enough citizens, maybe you can rotate duties when it comes to receiving guests?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't imagine many people are daydreaming about that role to fulfill when thinking of Rivendell.

On the flip side, I am a weirdo that genuinely enjoys being in hospitality/customer service so I'm sure that is a plus for some ither lotr weirdos!

They are just not thinking through their daydream of being an elf and living in Imladris, is the problem.

I think Rivendell is beautiful but unless I could like not be a part of the hosting staff I wouldn't want to live there, otherwise I've always wanted to live in Lothlorien with Galadriel's people. And as an elf obviously as I wouldn't be allowed there if I wasn't.

Tell me you've never read the books...

Rivendell isn't a rotating door of hosting guests. They can go literal decades without anyone new showing up. The brief window of months before the Council of Elrond is a literal anomaly based on a bunch of random prophecies and escalation of Sauron's plans coalescing simultaneuosly; most of the time Rivendell is as Frodo describes, a place where you can forget the passage of time entirely as the residents just don't care whether you live there or not. They don't have celebratory banquets every night. Fans desire to visit Rivendell because it's all the benefit of visiting a friend, none of the drawbacks of being in hotel services.

Thanks for explaining what I wanted to say in much better words, nonny. It got the name "Last Homily House" not because it was welcoming guests all the time but because it was the last elven city/settlement before the place where they could take the ships and return to Valinor. So it was a place that elves from all over could come on their journey towards the ships. That doesn't mean it had guests all the time.
