Re: Eldarion

The 'Half-elven' were the Peredhil, Elros and Elrond. These two were actually not 1/2 elven. They were the descended maternally from Elves, Men and Maiar, and paternally from Elves and Men. The term 'half-elven' was also used for Earendil and Elwing, but I don't think they were Peredhil.

So, where does that leave Eldarion? He was descended through many many generations from both Elrond and Elros, so he would have definitely carried the blood of the Peredhil. But, because of the great sundrance over time between ELros and Aragorn, I don't think that Eldarion could be considered anything other than mortal, and thus Man - not helf-elven. His mother was mortal when she concieved and bore him. Aragorn was also mortal.
