Ages of the Characters - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello,

Yeah I know I'm kinda new but I have a question. Is there a site somewhere which states the ages of the characters in the Book? I would like to know the ages of the characters about that time when Elrond's council begins.

Characters who's age I wanna know?

The Fellowship, Elrond and his children, Galadriel and his husband, Haldir (his brothers?), Faramir, the dwarves, Thranduil and so on...everyone who's mentioned in the book or movie a bit more then others ^^;

Please?

You can find some of the peoples ages in 'tale of years' in the Appendix.

Their age at what time, if you want the year 3019 TA (year of quest) then this is the best I can do (they might not be correct):

FRODO: 51
BOROMIR: 41
ARAGORN: 88
GIMLI: 140
MERRY: 37
PIPPIN: 29
BILBO: 129
ARWEN: 2779
ROSE: 35
EOMER: 28
EOWYN: 24
FARAMIR: 36
THEODEN: 71
DENETHOR: 84

Is that alright?

Bye, Elessar

That or if you're really into math, you could check out the Silmarillion. For most of the elves save Legolas and his father are somewhere in there, and you could subtract the Ages.
The Appendix has most of the Fellowship and Elrond's children, but for the more ancient characters, the Silmarillion would be best.
