[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [QB] Daniel Butler said: [QUOTE]I thought the only time an elf ever became a mortal was when Elrond's brother chose to become human rather than elven in the Silmarillion. [/QUOTE]Arwen did do so, it's one of the greatest tragedies of the elven people and is also intimately connected with her progenitor from Beleriand in the first age. Except for Arwen and, before her, Elrond's brother Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first High King of N�menor, the only elf to have chosen mortality was L�thien Tin�viel. The story of Beren and L�thien is one of my favorites from the Silmarillion for many reasons, but one big reason is that it connects with the future War of the Ring in different ways, not the least of which is L�thien, the most magnificient elven princess of all time, whose beauty was passed on to Arwen. Aragorn sings of them in the extended FoTR edition, on the way to Rivendell. All this typing has made me want to re-read the Sil again, even though chapters like this one sting me ol' heart.
