OOC: Here's a sort of family tree to explain things -
Thingol(one of the originally awakened elves)
married
Melian (a Maiar)
they had a daughter = Luthien
Luthien
married
Beren (a Man)
they had a son = Dior
Dior
married
Nimloth
they had 2 sons and 1 daughter =
Elurčd ----- Elurín ----- Elwing
Elurín was the father of Piosenniel
Elwing married Earendil and had 2 sons =
Elrond ------- Elros
Piosenniel’s mother was Holly Stoor of Wilderland.
Elurín, along with his brother Elured, was killed in the assault of the Sons of Fëanor on Menegroth before he could marry Holly.
Eärendil’s father was the Tuor(a Man) and his mother was Idril Celebrindal, the daughter of Turgon, the Elven King of Gondolin. It was Eärendil who bore the last Silmaril into the West.
So, as you can see - I am quite old, except in comparison to Idril.

The storm raged against the two ships. Waves crashed over each bow and threatened the smash the two crafts together. Lightning played about the masts and seemed to arc from ship to ship in a cold, blue current. The reek of ozone and evil filled the air. Pio and the rest of the ship's crew ran to throw off the ropes that had been securing the two craft together. She could see Mithadan rallying his crew to pull away from the elven vessel. Pio yelled at the two young elves who had gone up the main mast to take down the sails and secure them and then to get the hobbits down below before they could be blown off the ship by the howling gale. She and Bird grabbed the Wheel and attempted to steer the the elven ship away from the catamaran.
