mortal

I always had the idea that they were mortal, because of what Manwe said. However, apparently I missed some writings in the lost road where Tolkien said the opposite. For sure, the idea of them being mortal came after the first one. The thing is, there isn't any indication about Earendil, Elwing...

Official reveal in about 12 minutes at time of posting. Hasn't been revealed yet if it's a remake or new mainline title. Thought many people on here will have played one of the earlier ones.

I've been wondering this. Setting Elves and Wizards aside (who have their own magic, as we'd call it), it's made clear that someone like Denethor, or Aragorn, could use the Ring, if they so chose, to wield a power and overthrow Sauron. Not right away... this is stressed in their gamble at the...

Since Gandalf is a Mair, he's in the second plane, so to speak. Since the "invisibility" of the Ring leads one to the second plane, could, say, Gandalf have seen Bilbo coming in the Hobbit after losing him in the goblin tunnels? (Gandalf acted as surprised as the others, but even in the...

The Nazgûl are the Nine servants of the Dark lord Sauron. They possess the Nine Rings of the Mortal men doomed to die :D . They were mortal men but what happened when they got the Nine Rings? Did they become immortal or they didn't? Are they immortal? [I decided to start this thread after the...

Maybe this is discussed elsewhere, if so kindly provide links, but I'm rereading Sil (i think it number 10, getting hazy) and just finished "The Fall of Gondolin". My question deals with the idea of Tuor's mortality. Personally, I think Tuor became an elf, essencially for one reason: Luthien...

Dior became a father younger than elves normally do. Is his age an indication or mortality?

From the Silmarillion, Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor: From Of Beren and Luthien: Do you think this means that Beren is somehow a special exception, or is it simply something Tolkien overlooked?

I know very little about the Battle of Gil-Galad and Elendil against Sauron. All I know is that the Elf and the Man both died, and Narsil was broken, and Isildur cut the Ring from Sauron's finger with the hilt-shard. But I heard somewhere that Sauron's body was also pretty much dead, and that...

From TFOTR; In the House of Tom Bombadil: How do you interpret Frodo's feelings? Why is the delight 'deeper and nearer to mortal heart' than that of encountering Elves? I suppose that to us mortals, Goldberry would be just as 'magical' as the Elves. Why this distinction then?

Hmm was reading the "Harad" Post and it got me thinking... I remember scantly that it stated Sauron when he invaded Eregon and Killed Celebrimbor that he found and took the 9 rings. The others were hid from him. Im trying to remember the date that "The ringwraiths first appear" I believe...

Well the nine were once kings of men right? Well here is the problem with that, I can only think of 4 kindoms in Middle-Earth: Gondor,Rohan, Harad, and Rhun, so thats 4, but I know that Gondor and Rohan didn't get rings from Sauron. So, that leaves us with, assuming Harad and Rhun each took a...

In tlotr Gandalf says to frodo "A mortal who wears a ring of power becomes stretched and eventually invisible." So how about the dwarves they wore rings. Mortal or im.
