I just thought of something: how exactly do we classify Arwen? She and her brothers were given the choice between mortality and immortality, between men and elves, so I put her as half-elven. But her father, Elrond, was half Edain, a quarter Noldorin, and a quarter Sindarin (his father, Eärendil, was the son of an Adan and a Noldo, while his mother, Elwing, was the grandaughter of a Sindo and an Adan. It's more complicated than that, but I don't think the rest is neccessary). Her mother was half Telerin, half Noldorin. So should I still have her down as a half-elf? --Narfil Palùrfalas 20:33, 21 September 2006 (EDT)

Hm, good question. I would most likely say she was Half-elven prior to her choice of mortality, and after that she would be counted amongst the Men. EoA states similar but I will see if I can find a reference. --Hyarion 12:13, 22 September 2006 (EDT)
All half-elves had the choice of Man or Elf. We put some in the category of half-elves, some in the category of men, and others in the category of elves. Should make each half-elf in the categories "half-elves" as well as the race they chose to be of? By the way, I'm not sure if you saw it, but I asked something on the Main Page/Development. --Narfil Palùrfalas 12:19, 22 September 2006 (EDT)
I'd say yes, put them in Half-elves and Men/Elves because they weren't considered a Half-elf their whole life nor were they considered a Man/Elf. Yes I saw your other question, I haven't installed the screenplay yet and plan to do so in a bit then I'll respond with a yes :) --Hyarion 12:31, 22 September 2006 (EDT)
Actually I was more referring to the rough draft of a proposed introduction. --Narfil Palùrfalas 14:21, 22 September 2006 (EDT)
