On the Fates of the Half-Elven

some thinks that I have thought. cut for length

So, there are various elf-human hybrids in the Legendarium: Dior, Eluréd, Elurín, Elwing, Eärendil, Elrond, Elros, Arwen, Elladan, Elrohir, and Elros's line. There is also, potentially, Galador and his line, the Princes of Dol Amroth. (For those who are wondering, Galador is supposedly the son of the elf Mithrellas and the Númenórean Imrazôr.)

Now, some of these part-elves were offered a Choice between being mortal and being immortal, but that Choice was specifically offered to a) Lúthien, for making Námo cry, and b) Elwing, Eärendil, and their sons Elrond and Elros, for the bringing-a-Silmaril-to-Valinor incident. This does not seem to be the general situation with other half-elves; presumably Dior, Eluréd, Elurín, and Galador were not offered this choice, especially since in both instances that the Choice was offered the Valar were directly involved. (But Arwen— I am going to get there, hang tight.)

Now, Lúthien chooses to be mortal, and marries Beren and has Dior. Similarly, Elros chooses to be mortal, and marries his unnamed wife and has four children. All of Elros's children and line are mortal—long lived, yes, but mortal; presumably, therefore, Lúthien's children and line should also be long-lived mortals. Dior dies, Eluréd and Elurín exit the narrative, and Elwing turns into a bird and flies away before this can be fully tested for them; however, Dior is ruling by the time he dies at 36, and Elwing is 35 when Sirion is attacked, by which point she's already married and has had children. This is a reasonable timeline for humans, but not so much for elves.

Now, this is not fully generalizable: Lúthien was an exception and chose mortality before having kids, as did Elros. Would an immortal elf have half-elven children who are mortal, or immortal? If Aegnor had a child with Andreth, who would it take after?

Eärendil is the same age as Elwing, and has children with her before sailing out to find Valinor, so presumably he is also aging at a human's pace, and we are not meant to read him as an elfling during all of this. Crucially, he is the son of Idril (did not make Námo cry) and Tuor (100% human), lending weight to the supposition that an elf/human pairing that does not involve anyone making Námo cry would result in (long lived) human children. (Additionally, if you believe that Galador is a half-elf, he and his line are also mortal.)

This also indicates that Elros and Elrond were human and aging at human paces when they were offered their Choices, somewhere between the ages of 13 (when the Host of Valinor lands in Beleriand) and 58 (when Morgoth gets yeeted into the Void) as it's not clear when exactly they made their Choices.

Now, what about a half-elf that chooses immortality before reproducing? Hi, Elrond. Elrond married Celebrían, an elf, and had three children. All of them are aging at elf-rates, indicating that they are elves, and we might expect that they, like Elros's line, don't get to Choose…except that Arwen does choose mortality. There's a few explanations possible, as this is the only such case known:

Elrond's children get to choose; presumably if one of them chose elf-hood and married an elf, their children would also get to choose. (As we've established, mortality is hereditary absent the Valar's interference.)

Elrond's children are elves who do not get to choose and Arwen is an exception for whatever reason. Loving/marrying a mortal does not seem to be sufficient (as Idril does not become mortal on marrying Tuor), but theoretically some other cause might be proposed.

Elrond's children are elves who do not get to choose and Arwen doesn't actually die in the traditional sense, and does not go Beyond like mortals do, but does something resembling death (less Lúthien and more Míriel) that is understood by Gondor to be her dying.

Oh, also Tolkien wrote at one point:

Now all those who have the blood of mortal Men, in whatever part, great or small, are mortal, unless other doom be granted to them;

But that was in an earlier draft and may have been at least partially discarded, since Elrond's children aren't default-mortal despite having the blood of mortal Men.

Was it hard for a man and elf to reproduce?

11.21.2022

Presumably the answer to that is no it was not hard for them to reproduce, it is just a matter of elves and men marrying that seemed to be the rarity. 

The elven/men relationships that seemed to be fruitful seemed to have always produced children:

Dior x Nimloth = Elwing, Elured and Elurin

Tuor x Idril = Earendil

Beren x Luthien = Dior 

Imrazor x Mithrellas = Galador, Gilmith

Aragorn x Arwen = Eldarion and Daughters

Then Erestor is said to be Peredhel, and a product of an Elven/Men relationship

So procreation between Man and Elf doesn’t seem to be a struggle.

Rom: Spaceknight of Galidor, Member of the Solstar Order

Art reference for the one version of him no one can do anymore, the original Marvel Comics version that ran for 80 issues on the back of a toy that was on shelves for maybe a year.

A beautifully clumsy mix of retro-robot clunkiness and sleek superheroic design, Rom was the glue that held the Marvel Universe together for basically a decade, a the king of the crossover whose lore touched everything from Storm losing her powers to Rick Jones getting cured of cancer, and because Hasbro owns him, there's a toasterhead shaped hole in Marvel history that only a toy tie-in character can fill.

Wait till you see who he fought.

@halfelvenweek​ day five | princes of dol amroth | gilmith

According to the same traditions Galador was the son of Imrazór the Númenórean, who dwelt in Belfalas, and the Elven-lady Mithrellas. She was one of the companions of Nimrodel, among many of the Elves that fled to the coast about the year 1980 of the Third Age, when evil arose in Moria; and Nimrodel and her maidens stayed in the wooded hills, and were lost. But in this tale it is said that Imrazór harboured Mithrellas, and took her to wife. But when she had borne him a son, Galador, and a daughter, Gilmith, she slipped away by night and he saw her no more. But though Mithrellas was of the lesser Silvan race (and not of the High Elves or the Grey) it was ever held that the house and kin of the Lords of Dol Amroth was noble by blood as they were fair in face and mind.

New Last Name

As I've been heading towards a legal name change for a while now to be Lux in the government sense, I've been doing quite a bit of thinking about my previous last name. It's been out there on the internet and I've been very publicly known as it for pretty much my entire existence online. Part of that was because of a debt I felt I owed.

It's a heavy name for me. It's a name that represents quite a lot of pain, but for most of my life, it's a name that's represented a task that was given to me. I've felt my whole life that it is my solitary mission to redeem that name, to overcome a bloodline curse and bring it into the light for the future generations bearing it.

That was a lot to put on my shoulders, particularly given that it was given to me as a man who would pass that name on through traditional marriage and siring offspring. Quite naturally I, a trans woman, have struggled with this.

It clicked several months ago that I don't need to continue this mission. It was never meant for me and it was too much to put on my shoulders. And in fact, letting go of that burden represents freedom. It means that I define my life, not the sins of my family name. I do not need to carry that weight, so I simply won't.

So hi. My name is Lux Galador.

My friend Don Marshall helped me with this. Galador comes from Sindarin Elvish and translates loosely to "one who shines brightly." Paired with my first name Lux from the Latin "light," you can detect the theme I'm going for.

This is a name I'd like to live up to. It's an intention in addition to an identifier. I want to leave this world brighter than how I entered it. I don't want to spend my precious existence in darkness. Not anymore. Not after everything I've been through. And this name, MY name, represents that well I believe.

Thanks for sticking with me on the journey. I love y'all.

-Lux Galador
