There, though Elrond had departed, his sons remained, together with some of the High-elven folk. It is said that Celeborn went to dwell there after the departure of Galadriel; but there is no record of the day when at last he sought the Grey Havens, and with him went the last living memory of the Elder Days in Middle-earth.
So... does this mean they stayed or they left? Because it says that they remained, but then it sayd that Celeborn left, and all the Elder Days went with him - This may mean that all the remaining elves went with him. Or can it not?
Well, just a thought. See you...
well that quote doesnt tell us much about the sons of Elrond. It says the last of the Elder Days left but if they didnt leave then they would be mortals, not elves.
Well yes that is true they would be mortal, but they would still be part of the Elder days, for their father was of the Elder days and it is in their blood, so I believe that Arwen was of the Elder days as well, her brothers and Celeborn probably left some time after she died, so therefore all of the Elder days went with him, I know I cannot be sure, but I am just assuming and it makes sense to me anyway....
I think that you have to dramatically hold a dying ally in your arms, and scream to the heavens "Let my grace pass on to him". Or something like that- better ask Liv to fill us in on the exact details. Now, who has her e-mail address and phone number...
The way I understand it, the kids would be mortal. Arwen gave up her immortality so therefore her offspring do not have the same choice she had. For all practicle purposes, the kids had two mortal parents. That is how I see it anyway.
...Had no choice, as the line of Elros had no choice, they would have the gift of men to look forward to, as is explained in the Akallabeth, they began to desire the everlasting life and to regret the choice of Elros.
