This entire thread has been about Mithrellas and the implications of Imrahil's possible descent from her. Were you by any chance meaning to post in the Dior thread?

And Galin, belated thanks for the birthday wishes!

Unless someone moved my post I am sure my post WAS IN the Dior thread. It seems you accidentally quoted my Dior post in this thread.

Other points that support my argument is that Turin, Tuor and Aragorn were all raised amongst elves. It's true they had the necessary genes to resemble Elves, but Men resembling elves is more than just genes. The Numenorean's at their zenith became virtually indistinguishable from Elves and Tolkien put this down to untainted land of Numenor and the Elvish lifestyle they adapted too.

I would imagine it's a very similar, but to far lesser extent case with Imrahil. Dol Amroth recently had Elves live there. They more than anyone else in Gondor probably still adhere to Elvish way of life. Hence why Imrahil has such a close resemblance to an Elf, but Boromir and Faramir do not.
