The Half Elven

[Arien the Maia]

There was some among the Valar about the couple's fate, too:Eärendil, being weary of the world, let Elwing choose their fate, and for Luthien's sake she chose the Elves; Eärendil therefore also chose to be joined to the Elves, although his heart was with "the kindred of Men and the people of his father."

If Earandil hadn't been Noldorin on his elf side, what would his fate have been then? I thought that Manwe said that the Noldor couldn't return either? But Elwing wasn't Noldor, she just had some mortal blood in her. Maybe that's why they let her choose.
