I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this point.

I simply cannot see any reason why Elrond's children should be favored over Elros' when both are, by nature equally mortal. Clearly the privilege of choice was related to their descend from Earendil and Elwing and should apply to Elros' descendants as well.

Even if all Elros' children and their descendants did become mortal, (and sorry for getting the details of the quote wrong) that still doesn't mean they weren't given a choice. I have never denied that all three sons at least were Mortal but they may have chosen to be so as did their cousins several thousand years later.

P.S. Oh and another whoops about Vardamir's birthdate - somehow I confused Elros' age (58) with the year. Must have been sleep deprivation [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
