Elves: truly immortal? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Elves just don't die of old age, and when they die from wounds or sickness, they wait in the Halls of Mandos for a while, then they are reincarnated. Immortal is probably not the best of terms, because, when you think of immortal, you generally think of ha-ha-I-can't-be-killed! Whereas Tolkien's Elves CAN be killed, they're just reincarnated later.
