Mortal. But still very long-lived; Aragorn himself could expect a lifespan of about 300 years, and of course they come of a long-lived family on their mother's side [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. But no, they would get Aragorn's lifespan - substantial, but certainly not immortal.

Galadriel, now I'm trying to think of leaves that *aren't* pointy. I can't think of any. Of course, there are some pretty bizarre shapes out there but I don't think Tolkien meant that Elves had ears like maple leaves...ouch...
