Re: Peredhel

The 'Shibboleth of Feanor' says that "Earendil was thus the second of the Pereldar (Half-elven), the elder being Dior son of..."; and: " By the marriage of Earendil to Elwing... the lines of the Pereldar(Peredhil) were united." This is a quick reference there are likely others.
There is nothing in the published corpus stating that Dior had or was given a choice as to which kindred he might belong too. As I have noted above, by the Judgement of Manwe (that a being with any mortal blood shall be mortal unless given other doom) Dior who was not granted any other doom had the fate of Men (see 'Lost Road' for reference). Of course something different might come to light in the writings yet to be published, but until then this is the best that can be guessed at.
