Allow me to start by saying that everyone who has posted a reply so far on this subject is WRONG. Elves are Not immortal. at least the kind in the lord of the rings are not. Elves DO live an extreamly long time though, and so in some ways they might be considered Immortal. For instance, Elrond was one of the Elves created by Illuvatar at the Begginning of the world, and he is still alive. But in a way Elves ARE immortal, becauise if one is killed, or dies of old age (highly unlikley) They go to the Caves of (I have forgotten the name, they are ruled by one of the Anuir, the Faunter of Death) Where all souls of all go when they die. There ELF souls (and elf souls only) Wander for about the life span of a man, then are reborn into the world AS THEMSELVES. Not like a reincarnation. Answer your question? if not, Write me.
