Actually this relates to a question I have pondered from time to time, could you starve an elf to death (don't try this at home children)? I mean I know they can be slain (although it takes more to kill an elf than a man) and die of grief but surely at some point their bodies must give out? Or could Maedhros have stayed on that rock forever? I know Legolas received all the sustenance he needed from Lembas and was less affected by other physical hardships but is the hardiness of the elves relative or absolute?
