Elves after Arda is Remade - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Melkor's 'permanence' is due to the fact that he has 'dissipated himself' in all of Arda. But then this would mean that in The Final Battle, when it is prophesised that he would be killed, all of Arda would have to be destroyed or else Melkor wouldn't perish completely. Then Arda will be fashioned again and Men will join in the new music.

What will happen to the Elves when Arda perishes? It is said their life span is that of Arda. Would they dissappear completely - and not exist even in fëa?

I know that I haven't been on in a while. Been out due to illness again and the fact that I am a mod on another board, and admin on another [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Also, I have been very busy this summer with the teens that I work with.
