Why Did Elros Choose A Mortal Life?

ItalianLegolas · 12-06-2004, 04:17 PM

As many of you probably know, Elrond had a twin brother named Elros, they were known as the 'Half-Elven' because their father Earendil the Mariner was the son of Tuor(a man of the line of Huor) and Idril Cebrindal(an elfen Princess, the daughter of Turgon), and the twins mother was Elwing (the Grandaughter of Luthien and Beren). As you also might know, the Half-Elven were given the choice to be either mortal of Elfen because of thier blood, Elrond obviously chose an Elfen life-span, but Elros chose to be mortal and went on to be the first King of Numenor. So the question is....WHY?
