Elves are immortal but can be killed in battle, in which case they go to the Halls of Mandos in Aman. They may be restored by the Will of the Valar, and then go to live with the Valar in Valinor, like an Earthly Paradise, though just being in the place does not confer immortality, as Men supposed.
Elves are known as immortal demigod-like beings, but they die if their sacred oak tree was cut. These ones are light beings. Light elves are mostly portrayed as a light haired, blue eyed with a close link with nature creatures. Pointy ears were also one of the main characteristics.
The first cycle for Elves is childhood and adolescence, lasting around 100 years, though most elves are fully grown after their first 50 years. The second cycle of an Elves' life is adulthood which can span thousands of years, all while not physically aging.
In Middle-earth, half-elves are the children of Elves and Men, and can choose either Elvish immortality or the mortal life of Men. The elf-maidens Lúthien and Arwen in Tolkien's works both chose mortality to be with the Men that they loved.
Arwen is one of the half-elven who lived during the Third Age; her father was Elrond half-elven, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell, while her mother was the Elf Celebrian, daughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel, ruler of Lothlórien. She marries the Man Aragorn, who becomes King of Arnor and Gondor.
Elves are immortal but can be killed in battle, in which case they go to the Halls of Mandos in Aman for an afterlife. They may be restored by the Will of the Valar, and then go to live with the Valar in Valinor, like an Earthly Paradise, though just being in the place does not confer immortality, as Men supposed.
For instance, while Elves looked like young human children at 20 years old, they were skilled in language and craft. That led to the belief that Elvish children were very mature, but really, they were already over two decades old. And when an Elf reached 50 years old, they had completed physical puberty.
Are any of the elves who first awoke Cuiviénen still around by the time of LOTR? The oldest elf in LoTR is Círdan the Shipwright, the oldest Elf still remaining in Middle-Earth, who appears at the end of Return of the King to sail to Valinor.
Elves are basically immortal beings who age into a state of ethereal hotness and then stop the clock. They live for millennia, so being pregnant for one hundred years is actually not that bad when you look at it that way. Both parents are also aware of the baby elf growing in the womb the whole time.
The first Elves to awaken were three pairs: Imin ("First") and his wife Iminyë, Tata ("Second") and Tatië, and Enel ("Third") and Enelyë. They walked through the forests, finding other pairs of Elves, who became their folk. They lived by the rivers, and invented poetry and music in Middle-earth.
Most of Elves have a lifespan of about 2000-3000 years, while High Elves are almost immortal. However, "Town Elves", were those who live in villages and towns have a much shorter life span, only about 250 years, which is explained by their genes being mixed with other races, making it's less "purebred".
The drow (/draʊ/ or /droʊ/) or dark elves are a dark-skinned and white-haired subrace of elves connected to the subterranean Underdark in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy roleplaying game. The drow have traditionally been portrayed as generally evil and connected to the evil spider goddess Lolth.
According to the WOMBAT test, it is possible that house-elves have an average life expectancy of 200 years, cannot be ordered to kill themselves, breed infrequently and only with their master's permission, can override wizard enchantments, and have an allegiance to their home rather than its inhabitants.
Galadriel is of the Noldor, and her mother was of the highest race, the Vanyar; Celeborn was a Sindaran elf from Doriath, so between the two, the rulers of Lórien have the most impressive bloodlines.
Based on this metric, her time in Valinor would have lasted around 19,150 years. That would make her age during The Rings of Power actually around 23,178 years. All of this means Galadriel could be anywhere from 5,000 to 24,000 years old in The Rings of Power.
Because it would be weird if they were eternally newborns. Elves are immortal, they don't naturally die - but they have to age, otherwise they would never reach physical maturity. It takes about 50 years for an elf to be physically mature, and about a century for them to be considered full adults.
Legolas was portrayed by Orlando Bloom. In the "official movie guide" for The Lord of the Rings, a birthdate for Legolas is set to 87 of the Third Age. This would make him 2931 years old at the time of the War of the Ring.
Because each Age counts its years from scratch, and because the First Age lasted 587 years and the Second 3441, Elrond must be approximately 6437 years old in The Hobbit. Because of his advanced age, Elrond's role in the history of Middle-earth can scarcely be overstated.
Her situation in the Lord of the Rings is a little bit different in that she's not tied to the One Ring at all. It's not sucking out her life force as it gets closer to its own doom. Rather, she's chosen mortality to stay on Middle Earth with Aragorn and has begun to feel the passing of time.
Celeborn was the Lord of Lothlórien and husband of Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood. He was said to be one of the wisest Elves in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age. He played an important role in many battles in the First and Second Age.
Only Elves and those deemed worthy (like Gandalf and Frodo) could sail to the Undying Lands. And by choosing to stay with Aragorn, she was forgoing her place on the boats and binding herself to the realm of men, thus becoming mortal.
