Wondering about the Elves...
Maybe I'm stupid for asking the Q, but...
So we all know that a half-elf or part-elf (like Arwen) would have to give up his/her immortality to marry (or, I assume, consummate a relationship with, though I always thought such things did not occur outside of marriage in Tolkien's world) a mortal. But how about someone who's fully elf? People seem to assume that the same is true, but Gimli, who is a dwarf and therefore more hated by the Elves than any other mortal, was allowed with Legolas into the Undying Lands. Any reason why a human mortal wouldn't be allowed with his/her spouse? As Timon said, "Did I miss something?!" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
