TTT: Arwen's future and Lorien
In TTT, when Elrond is telling Arwen her future as Aragorn's wife, he says to her that she will "dwell under the fading trees"...<P>And in the image, you see Arwen walking under some kind of burnt and windy forest... The trees look burned and laid to waste...<P>Is it Lothlórien? What happened? Because I dont think it would look like THAT just after Galadriel left... She had a major part in keeping the forest's beauty but it would not deteriorate so quickly without the Lady...<P>Is Elrond insinuating that Lorien will be burned?

I gotta be honest, it didn't looked burned to me. More like a forest that was setting in for winter, which to me is the right mood for the situation.<P>But I'ld have to watch it again.<P>H.C.

I noticed this too. It may be that the forest falls to ruin without Nenya keeping the change of time at bay.

To me they looked like the woods in winter. But this is many years after Galadriel left (50? 100? anyone know exactly?) so it would have had some time to deteriorate without Nenya preserving it. I don't think it looked burned either. Just dark and gloomy really.

It didn't seemed burned to me, it just looked like the trees lost their leaves and flowers and everything else that made them beautiful once...<P>...Before Galadriel left for Valinor. Remember that Galadriel used Nenya to beautify Lorien (or so I think). It would be there that Arwen would finally lay down her life and die as a mortal, after Aragorn's death.

In the book, Arwen died in Lorien 118 years after Galadriel left for Valinor.

Real quickly, I thought I read somewhere in the books that Arwen eventually, 'gave up her gift' of immortality, & so died. That's what I though I had read, but then when I watched TTT & Elrond told her she wouldn't be able to leave Middle Earth until...forever basically. Am I not remembering the books correctly? Or did PJ just change it around a bit? Sorry if this was a bit of the original topic...
