Elves and returning to ME
Someone wrote this:
Quote:
The formet part I am aware of. Eventhough Glorfindel is the only Elf mentioned as coming back. Does the ACTUAL TEXT say that Elves could back. I do not have PoME, so I can't verify the quote.

I think this is what you want:

There's also a chapter in Morgoth's Ring: Of re-birth and other dooms of those that go to Mandos.

So basically if an Avari was slain, then he/she couldn't be reborn in Valinor b/c he/she had lived in Middle Earth and not Valinor?

A very good question. I don't know the answer. I don't think Tolkien ever wrote anything significant about the Avari.
Oh Arien, just saw your title. Love it.

As I understand it, any of the Eldar, be they Avari, Moriquendi, or whatever, if they died, will be returned to the Halls of Mandos.

Artanis thank you for deciphering that post.

AFAIK, the idea of Elves being reborn was abandoned by JRR.
Anyone have any sources to the contrary? Then there is this from the Second Glorfindel Essay concerning Elves returning to Middle-earth: Quote:

As far as I can recall, Glorfindel was the only Elf to return to Middle-earth.

Yes, that is what I meant. Given new bodies in, reborn out.
Thanks for the welcome. |
