Legolas thanks for posting the excerpts from the letters as they are always a valuable reference. What I never understood was if the Valar had no power to grant immortality to mortals then how was this done for Tuor, "who alone among mortal men was counted among the Eldar." I would assume that since his status changed, then so did his mortality to immortality. Any ideas or answers.
