My brother has a theory that Aragorn could claim descent from the three original ambassadors to Aman (Ingwë, Finwë, and Elwë) and that Arwen descended from Olwë; hence their son Eldarion could claim descent from all 4 of the original elf kings. (And I think there's a sentence in one of the Appendices about Aragorn and Arwen reuniting the lines of teh elven kings). Aragorn's descent from Ingwë was, he thought, through the Indis-Fingolfin-Eärendil line. However, I read in another post (a great post about the 144 "original" elves, the "Unbegotten&quot

that Indis was a sister to Ingwë, not his descendant. So is this theory not correct?
