Edain/Eldar marriages - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmmm, I was thinking more along the lines of genetics, rather than mortality. Even after Luthien "became mortal" I would think the DNA she passes down to her children (in this case, one son only) would still contain Elven and Maiar elements.

So I didn't see anyhthing in the quotes Maerbenn provided to dispute that. It just says that he was 100% Mortal, but I wouldn't say that's the same thing as being 100% Man. Though I probably made myself terribly unclear on that point before. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And if I were to place bets I'd say that Luthien was indeed prettier than Dior. I was joking with that remark about his pulchritudinous, because those "Who is the greatest...?" type discussions are popular. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
