Re: New Silmarillion

It's an interesting discussion that Dude S and Mr. MnM had about the length of a Valarian Year.
I have a question to Saulotos: If it took aprox. 20-21 times 144 = 3000 years of the sun for elves to mature doesn't it put up too many new problems?

For instance: How old were Legolas? I always thought him born it the Third Age. We know that the chrildren of Elrond were born early in the Third Age - Were they only just to achive maturity at the time of the War of the Ring?
What about Maeglin ... how many Valarian Years would he be at the sack of Gondolin? 1 or maybe 2 - It just doesn't fit!!!
Hi, Elrond and Elros, you're now 1/20th from maturity hmm... could you please take the most important choice in your life???

Could you explain where I'm going wrong? - for I must be misunderstanding something.

Cheers Telchar
