ok i know Arwin chose a mortal life but what i want to know how she did it? Does she just have to think it?

The same question goes to Elronds Brother Elros who also choose a mortal life all i want to know how they do it??

Well, what they did was get a top hat, and in it, right on 50 pieces of paper "Immortal" and on another 50 "Mortal" - she picked it out of a hat!!!

No? Ok, sorry - in a funny mood!

Every half-elf decides that at some point in their life. I don't think they can just think it, because they probably think about it a lot. I'd guess that they have to tell another elf or something.

Ask Tolkien

man i wish he was alive he left so many questions answerd

dont u mean UN answered? lol

*lol* i reckon he answered many, too

opps my dyslexia seems to be playing up again

I did mean he left alot of unanswered

They probley have to do some wired task or something

who knows

erm, I thought it was she simply decided to bail from going to the Un-Dying lands,

yeah but she became mortal because she died a year after Aragon died

yes I know, seeing as she didnt go to the undying lands, she became immortal.

in ROTK when Elrond notices Arwens hand are cold he goes onto say the live of the vala is leaving her (no idea if that statement is correct but something has left her which bassically means she is not immortal)

It was, "The life of the Eldar is leaving you. "

Eldar is another word for Elves. Arwen is not a Vala.

For the topic, I think it's just something like Arwen choosing to have a mortal life and then Eru who heard what her choice is will make her a mortal since that's her wish and she has that advantage of a choice. So, when Aragorn died, some years later, Arwen died too.

In general, for those half-elven who were given the benefit to choose between immortality and mortality, they (Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, Elrond, Elros) just have to choose what they want then Eru will grant it for them and the rest is history. They will start to age, though their lives will still be longer than a common mortal, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will change their physical appearance, they will not lose their pointy ears, etc.

Just to clarify, what I said were not officially stated by Tolkien (if they were, then YAY!!), but they're just my 2 cents.
