::slaps forehead::: Soon as I let loose with that post I knew that I messed up with the order of the parings. Beren and Luthien came first, of course. I knew that there was one more, at least, before the couple in question, I thought it was Earendil and Elwing. It could very well be Idril and Tuor.
When I was more awake, I looked it up, and on page 248 in "Of the Voyage of Earendil and the War of the Wrath" it says: "Then Earendil, first of the living men, landed on the immortal shores..." So maybe...
Well, he COULD be considered half-elven, too. Ulmo speaks on 249 of the Mariner's dual bloodlines: "And say unto me: whether he is Earendil Tuor's son of the line of Hador, or the son of Idril, Turgon's daughter, of the Elven-house of Finwe?"
BUT, after that, Manwe judged that they and their offspring could choose what race they share kin to, and both chose to be Firstborn. "And Elwing chose to be judged among the Firstborn Children of Iluvatar, because of Luthien; and for her sake Earendil chose alike, though his heart was rather with the kindred of Men and the people of his father."
Oh, bother. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
