Ah, thanks

So Manwe gave the choice to Elrond and Elros. I knew that, but what bothers me is this. Elros chose mankind and so all his descendants were accounted among Men and have no choice. Elrond choses Elvish fate for his descendants. What strikes me as odd then is how the Twins and Milady Undomiel are yet again given a choice. Why are they given a choice and the mortal men of Numenor not? It says they were given the choice to go beyond the circles of this world with Elrond or become mortal and stay. Why do they even have this choice?

Also, why does Erendis says that some Numenoreans are real Half Elves? They aren't are they. Or are they Half Elves with the life of Men whilst Arwen is a Half Elf with &quot;the youth of the Eldar&quot;.Can you explain that?
