Would Arwen's children get a choice between mortality and immortality? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Why was that choice actually given to Elrond's children? For Elros chose to be a Man, and no choice was given to his children, so why to Elrond's?

Actually, it's strange, that the elves, due to their love, were always allowed to become mortals, like Lúthien, and therefore they were given more changes than Men, who were mortals and could not become anything else.

Ilúvatar and the valar didn't care very much about the Men, it seems [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
