maybe i'm having a brunette's worst moment by having a blonde spell but what exactly is the ratio for Elvish years compared to Humans? Thengise Greenleaf of Mirkwood has suggested that it is 144 Elf years to 1 Human year. Is that correct? Ithaeliel countered with the idea that Elves come of age when they are 50 which would put them under 1 year.....? Help! My curiosity needs to be satisfied!
