Actually both Earendil and Elwing might come to different conclusions about what is "wrong" with them. Maybe Earendil thinks wrong was being brought up among elves only where he always was "less", while among humans he is always "more". Elwing might think what is wrong is her mortal nature which...

Than we could use this as a pretext for Maeglin"s abhorance for Earendil. Earendil would seem extremely delayed in his mastery over his body. A "premium weakling" [unworthy to be a scion of the king] and Maeglin might voice eugenic ideas here - as he tries to kill him later. Earendil might have...

1. Elwing is born of an elvish mother - Nimloth - she grows up among elves, before she comes to the Bay of Balar she has basically never seen a real human before - and when she sees them later they are completely foreign to her and she does not feel part of them - Dior does not count here as he...

How will a elvish mother react to it? All her mixed children are for her body preterm - born like in the 30th gestation week for a human. How does her body respond to such a expedited gestation? And elves do not have preterm pregnancies and sick newborns as default, so their culture is...

O.k. will open a new thread about Elwing. But for Gondolin and Húrin and Huor we have the point that this is the only point in time where elves of Gondolin are confronted with mortal bodily development, as they see teenager growing up into men in a couple of years. And this would not be...

She had no problem with the delivery itself but with the recovery after it. This is a completely different issue. She has overspentd her life-force and had too little left to recover easily. The is not a physical problem with her hröa but a spiritual one with her órë. In humans broadly...

Will Elwing's birth be exchanged in time with that of her brothers or placed even further back in time (difficult, as her parents' marriage lasts only 9 years and the two births are placed 3 years apart.) Will we keep Elwing's own ca 7-6 year long pregnancy with her twin sons this long or will...

Ilfrin needs to be at least 50 before he sails.

I have imagined him being born at the Havens, but there is simple not enough time there.

Ilfrin [Ilverin] Voronwenion the sailer-companion of Earendil - the gong-master o.k. if 507 Elwing comes to the Havens of Sirion with the Silmaril. 511 Gondolin refugees arrive at the Havens of Sirion. 525 Eärendil weds Elwing, Tuor and Idril depart for Valinor. 534...

He could check on the progress of the weapon technology in the armory and have the new blue-shining weapons explained to him...

But one reason why Tolkien found Fantasy/ Fairy stories undramatizable is that such an approach destroys secondary belief. The viewer becomes/stays aware that it is all just "pretend-play", just a demonstration, immediately and at all times. The feeling of entering another world is instantly...

I am interested in Rhun. Expecting to be let down but it is still the first attempt to see it depicted. RoP"s Numenor bored me. Even Mordor bored me in RoP. I am afraid Rhun will too. But in itself Rhun is interesting. Am curious what they do with it. Would like it to feel Asian. Maybe...

This can be but this is then again "bad marketing" imho. People lose interest if there is nothing to keep them interested We cannot get used to the planned changes beforehand and gain interest in the questions that they want to answer though their story.

Has she not pursued him for centuries? She should be not ready to let him escape - as she was so fixated on getting him. It would take some time for her to get out of the "catch Sauron" mode - even if this would mean harm to herself or her reputation...

Can anybody explain to me how it is the sensible that she let him go when he was right there in Eriador, alone, still weak and within reach and even a small elvish unit could just have captured him easily right then and there? Meanwhile, Galadriel grapples with the betrayal of Halbrand, now...

Well, we know that Eagles are not very keen on being regularly employed by others, they like to do what and when they please... So this source might work occasionally, but not regularly.

So they now seek to get rid of them, as it was Feanor who made them? Turgon has a secret, wide-reaching, elaborate military plan and no secret service to provide him with vital, necessary intel for such a plan? How does that one work?

How? Toll Eressea is a stronghold of the Teleri - those should be reluctant to use anything Noldorin and grossed out by their "technology"? Before the War of Wrath there are no other elves there than the Teleri. It seem that some Vanyar were there after their return from the War of Wrath -...
