The question regards Arwen. She apparently died of a 'broken heart' after Aragorn passed, after living 122 years as a mortal. Had she not given in to despair and continued to want to live after the death of her husband, how long would she have lived? Elros lived to the age of 500. Was this standard for those of the Half-elven who chose mortality? A lingering effect of their Elvish side, perhaps?
