Reincarnation of the Avari

Not entirely. The fear of all Elves (including Avari) are *summoned* to Mandos when they die. Not all go. Secondly, the mere fact that an Avar fea travels to Mandos does not mean that the fea will, on reincarnation, be permitted to dwell in Valinor - whilst Mandos is geographically within Valinor, I don't the fear in Mandos would be numbered amongst the residents of Valinor. I think the "rehousing in Middle Earth" theory is probably the most likely mode by which Avari would be reincarnated - leaving, of course, the issue of whether the Avarin choice was revocable open.
