I was actually just thinking about how much it sucks to be Elrond. He's awesome and all, a lore-master and a generally cool guy, but he did lose his whole family. Celebrian, Arwen, his parents... does anyone know what happened to Elladan and Elrohir? Did they stay in Middle-earth or eventually go across the Sea? I looked them up on the Encyclopedia of Arda (glyphweb.com/arda), and it said they stayed in Rivendell after Elrond sailed, but it's unknown what they did afterwards. Does anyone know if maybe Tolkien stated anything about this, maybe in one of his letters?
Also, Maedhros had a hard time of it, between being chained to a wall, having his hand hacked off, and then having to worry about his father's Oath.
