sentient beings who never aged
Cirdan is described in The Grey Havens as "grey and old". Tolkien comments in various places about the fading of the elves, due to the fire of their fea that consumes their hroa ("Laws and customs of the Eldar"), and due to the marring of Melkor that accelerates this ("Athrabeth").
