- As I remember one Man escaped the Gift/Doom of Men: that when Idril tired
- of Middle-Earth, and Tuor was passing through his middle-age, that the two
- of them took up the first Elessar and set sail for the West, even though
- the Ban of the Valar was still up, barring the Noldor from returning. And that
- it was thought that they made it and that Tuor, alone among pure-blooded men
- was allowed to change his doom and follow the fate of the Firstborn. Any
- corrections/comments?
-
- And BTW: what happened to Tuor, Earendil, Elwing, Elrond, etc. when they chose
- their fates? Did their ears change shape or something? Was it a matter
- of 'becoming' elves or just of assuming their fate?
