Elvish Mortality - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

just to add this, I agree with the last two posts. I am much more involved with the elves than mortal men. However, I was wondering about this. In terms of being natural, when Illuvatar created the firstborn, he also had his "blueprint" for men also. When he created these two races, do you think he already forseen that the elves would eventually leave middle earth and men would be the dominant race for the rest of ME's endurance? Because if he did, it would seem to me that men are more natural because they stayed in the"natural" world of ME. But, as already pointed out, the firstborn were closer to Eru than any other, so that's pretty hard evidence as well. any thoughts?
