TUOR SON OF HUOR

[Elendur]

Therefore he built a great ship, and he named it Earrame, which is Sea-Wing; and with Idril Celebrindal he set sail into the sunset and the West, and came no more into any tale or song. But in after days it was sung that Turor alone of mortal Men was numbered among the elder race, and was joined with the Noldor, whome he loved; and his fate is sundered from the fate of Men.

I wouldn't doubt that this rumor is true. Tuor served Ulmo in every way he could and never thought about himself. I think that he would deserve to atleast come to Eressea.

Mithadan: There was communication between Númenor and the Undying Lands in the Second Age, so if Tuor became immortal the Elves would surely have told the Númenoreans, who would in turn have told the Elves of Middle-Earth. So that is not a problem.

I am assuming he made it to Aman. I dont really understand what happened to Tuor. Did he stay a man and yet be immortal or was he counted as one of the Eldar? But the reason I reply to this is because if he did gain immortality, I doubt the elves would tell the people of Numenor about it. They were showing signs of envy towards the elves because they thought that living in Aman made them immortal. So the elves coming to Numenor and talking about Tuor becoming immortal when he reached the land of Aman would be kindof foolish. Men might take that the wrong way and assume even more that Aman = immortal.
