I thought Arwen was the last elf born in Middle Earth [In reply to] Can't Post

or very close to it, which is part of the reason she is called Undómiel, the Evenstar. And in the movie, they played this up, as it seemed that this was one of the reasons the vision of her potential child was so overwhelming to her and persuaded her to change her mind and stay.

Kind of like how Gimli says everyone thinks dwarf women spring out of holes in the ground, I almost think the same about elves. In the movies, you have Elrond who looks older than all the other elves, who all look about the same age (i.e. stopped aging at the same age). But there are no children in Rivendell or Lorien, unlike the Shire, (where they are all over the place) and in Rohan and Gondor. I suppose that having kids running around messes with the general peacefulness and calm of the elf day, but it would be nice to see one in the background.

However, not seeing elf children does make them seem that much more otherworldly.

        I like to think of it as outside elements playing a role in how old Elves look. Boromir Stark Send a private message to Boromir Stark Feb 17 2013, 8:27pm
