Here's my problem: Eldacar is the son of Valacar and Vidumavi, so he's only half-Numenorean. Yet he lives to over 200 years. Theoden, also half-Numenorean(son of Thengel and Morwen of Lossarnach) lives to only 70+(disregard the fact that he died in battle. The point is, he waned early.) Why is this? Is the Numenorean longetivity dependent only on the father? Andaya nila, 'no? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
