Re: Elrond and Elros
In the beginnig there was only Elrond planned, Elros came in later:
Quote:
And of like fate were those fair offspring of Elf and mortal,
Earendel, and Elwing, and Dior her father, and Elrond her child.
History of ME, vol 4, The Quenta

I can't recall any clear evidence of those two being twins, but from the following quote:
Quote:
...and he took to wife Elwing the fair, and she bore to him Elrond and Elros, who are called the Half-elven
Silmarillion, chp 24, Of The Voyage of Earendil and War of Wrath
|
Following the quote, it may be assumed they were twins indeed, for they are not named separately, but together in a manner of speech to imply they were equal and alike in all ways.
