[LotR] Why wasn't there a delegation from Rohan at the Council of Elrond?

Idk, it would seem weird to me that only one of the two major human kingdoms was represented at an important meeting.

The Council of Elrond wasn't that well organized, it was just cobbled together at the time.  The only reason a human representative was there at all was because Faramir had a prophetic dream that he should go to Rivendell but Boromir went in his place.  He had to travel a huge distance and if you were to send out invitations to the major powers and give them time to actually come then you'd be waiting forever.

The dwarves and the elves of Mirkwood were they already recognized that there was a mounting threat after Sauron was driven out of Dol Guldur and the return of the Nazgul.
