*crinkling forehead* So what has been generally established was that anyone with mortal blood (excepting only Elrond, Elros and the children of Elrond, who were granted a choice) would be counted as mortal.
But (and I apologize for harping so long on Arwen, but she is the only close example we have of such a choice...) how is it that Arwen lives for thirty eight generations of the Dunedain (a ridiculously long lifespan, for the Dunedain didn't exactly die young either) and then decides to be mortal? Am I the only one that this strikes as a little fishy?
