dininziliel,

As far as the Half-elven understanding mortality better than full elves, I think Davem refers just to those who chose to be elves. Obviously those that chose man have a complete understanding of the "gift". Read the story of Arwen after Aragorn dies... she finally gets it.

However, those who chose "elf" at least had to seriously consider being mortal (more than just in theory), giving them a greater understanding.

(How's that Davim? Feel free to stomp me if I'm putting words into your mouth... just my opinion on a great point.) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
