Re: Reincarnation of the Avari

MM posted &quot;...The Lord of the Rings, has Elves
of Avari descent (the Silvan Elves of Lorien) sailing over Sea. That
hardly makes their choice irrevocable.&quot;

The lorien elves were def. Avari and not Nandor/daaians who did not go w/ Denethor ?

It is an interesting Q. Meneldil and i found myself asking it about a week ago <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

I think the boat theory is out <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

I think they would be given a choice to enter Valinor or not [ once therir purgatorial stint was over] and free tutorial in the language of their choice!

Keep in mind that a fair # of the Avari were of 'Noldorin' or more properly speaking the 2nd clan. And if they were anything like their more 'refined' Valinorean kinsman some of them were in for a long wait!

I actually wish JRRT had kept the Eol, laiquendi as 2nd clan conception it fits very well esp. w/ the character Turin chases in Doriath [saeros?].






Lindil is oft found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowdowns and working on a new Elven/Christian discussion board<a href="http://beta.ezboard.com/bosanwekenta" >Osanwe-Kenta</a> 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>
