Mithalwen: "Yes but with an Elvish Mummy..."
I was unaware that the Elves were into mumification! That adds a completely new skew to their religious beliefs... :P The question of Eldarion's lifespan is quite interesting - would Arwen's potency be passed on? As the choice was for only the children of Elrond, would any blood related long-life have been passed on? My guess is probably not in Eldarion's case. The gift of the Choice was given only to two the Twins (and in Elrond's case, passed on to his descendants). I do not believe that Eldarion would have inherited the grace that was brought by Arwen's choice. He would have lived a lifespan normal to that of the Dunedain, that is, somewhere close to Aragorn's. Sadly, there is no reference in the texts to supplement my disbelief, nor is there any to form an alternate theory on.
