I'm sure the princes of Dol Amroth were both men and mortal, but it brings up a question I've never gotten much of an answer for... why were Elrond and Elros given the choice of their race, while other children of men and elves were not (like the children of Imrazor and Mithrellas)? and why was the choice extended also to Elrond's children and not to Elros'? (Does Elrond and Elros' choice have something to do with being half-elven on both sides?)

yikes, you beat me by a second, Scott, but how funny...our thoughts went in pretty much the same direction... -Sophia
