An Arwen Discrepancy - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The choice between mortal and elven was offered by the Valar to Elros and Elrond due to their parents being who they were, and I suppose to what they had achieved. They were half elven and would presumably without the choice, lived the life of the Eldar. Elrond chose to be elven and to his direct line and only them was given also that choice. They had the potentiality of both races, I suppose rather like someone with dual nationality, and could choose which they wanted to be.
