Re: Ar-pharazon the Golden

Luthien is a very unique case because she does not have the half-elvin choice as she is not mortal from any of her parents.

She is part Maia which could have her returned to Middle Earth, and part Elf. She herself was divested of immortality as an equity of exchange for Beren.

In this case, it was not a "choice" that Dior could inherit from his mother, and certainly wouldn't gain a double death which both his parents had :p

The case is unique, whereas Arwen's choice of mortality is not, she replicates Elros' choice where his children were given no choice of Immortality.
