eledhwen Guest Posts: n/a	The story of Miriel is not comparable to that of Arwen at all. Her soul simply passed to the halls of Mandos, while her body lay in Lorien (the one in Valinor), which is where all elven souls go when they "die", for example when they are slain in battle. Contrary to humans elven souls are bound within the confines of ME. The human death is actually conceived of as a apecial priviledge, because it means that their souls can transcend the confines of the material world (i.e. ME).
