Elven children
hi all....
since i am also a newbie to this site i'm not particularly sure wether this subject goes here or is even a subject per se.... this just interests me and i was wondering if some of you could fill me in..... i only read the hobbit and lotr and just listening to deeper discussions(when they occur)in chat, more and more questions pop into my head......one of them is this: elven children....seeing as though elves are immortal, how is the timeline for their physical maturity......are elven "toddlers" ever mentioned in any of tolkiens books? would really like to know how they run through the stages from infancy to adulthood..... who rears the children? would their childhoods and their care have been similar to our middle ages? male children fostered and such? maybe not a "deep" discussion, but i hope a worthwhile one?
