And she stood then as still as a white tree, looking into the West, and at last she said: "I will cleave to you, Dúnadan, and turn from the Twilight. Yet there lies the land of my people and the long home of all my kin." She loved her father dearly.

As related in The History of Middle-earth, Tolkien conceived the character of "Elrond's daughter" late in the writing. [T 13] [T 14] Prior to this, he had considered having Aragorn marry Éowyn of the royal family of Rohan. [T 15] [2] According to Tolkien's mythology, Arwen was the daughter of Elrond, the half-elven lord of Rivendell, and Celebrían, the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn. Arwen's brothers were Elladan and Elrohir. She was also a distant relative of Lúthien, one of the greatest figures in Elven history. Hammond, Wayne G.; Scull, Christina. The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion. HarperCollins. p.205. Through her father, Elrond, Arwen was the granddaughter of Eärendil the Mariner (the second of the Half-elven), great-granddaughter of Tuor of Gondolin, and therefore a direct descendant of the ancient House of Hador. Through her great-grandmother, Idril, Arwen was a descendant of King Turgon of the Noldor. Through her mother, she was the granddaughter of the Elf-queen Galadriel of Lothlórien. [T 10] Through both of her parents, Arwen was a direct descendant of the ancient Elven House of Finwë. Furthermore, Arwen was a descendant of Beren and Lúthien, whose story resembled hers. Indeed, Arwen was held to be the reappearance in likeness of Lúthien, fairest of all the Elves, who was called Nightingale ( Tinúviel). [T 3]

In the extended version, Elrond asks Arwen, in Elvish with English subtitles, to accompany him to safety in Valinor, away from Middle-earth. [13] Fontenot, Megan N. (29 October 2020).

Due to the above this is a product I\'d not recommend to anyone as it will upset the owner of it the same way it did upset my partner as it was not her fault but the quality of the piece that caused it. Also, reached out to Weta and they were not helpful at all. Told us we bought it several years ago(untrue) and send us a guide on how to clean silver. For those of you who don't know, Elrond's father was Earendil was married to Elwing who was daughter of Beren and Luthien, a man and an elf, and Earendil was also half elven, because he was son of Tuor and Idril. This means all their ancestors could choose to be immortal like the elves, or mortal and have an extended life. Obviously Elrond chose to be immortal but his brother Elros chose to be mortal (and is one of Aragorn's ancestors which is why Aragorn is 87). Arwen gets to chose as well, so not all elves can chose to be mortal, only the ancestors of Earendil. Earendil had a silmaril and sailed west and kind of became a star (read the Silmarillion for a full history) which is why Galadriel talks about "... Earendil, our most beloved star..." .

As an Elf, Arwen was immortal, but Aragorn was a mortal, if long-lived, Man. Nothing said that Elves and Men couldn't marry each other. However, when the Man died, the Elf would be left to wither away in sadness. That's why Elrond opposed their marriage: He knew Arwen would be giving up her immortality if she married Aragorn. Despite knowing that, Arwen nevertheless chose to marry the King of Gondor. They spent 122 years together as Aragorn restored the glory of Gondor and Arnor. But in the end, Elrond was right, because Arwen died of a broken heart in year 121 of the Third Age. a b c d Shippey, Tom (2005) [1982]. The Road to Middle-Earth (Thirded.).

The person who mentioned it as a gift to Frodo is right on the money. Someone read the book, great! In the book, it is described as "a white gem like a star that lay upon her breast hanging upon a silver chain". This is clearly the Evenstar pendant (Evenstar being what her people lovingly called her). Tolkien 1977, "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age": Family Trees I and II: "The house of Finwë and the Noldorin descent of Elrond and Elros", and "The descendants of Olwë and Elwë" Arwen is an elf, the daughter of Elrond, the lord of the elven realm of Rivendell. She is a beautiful, intelligent, and brave character who is deeply devoted to her family and people. Arwen falls in love with Aragorn, a human warrior and the rightful king of Gondor, and decides to renounce her immortality to be with him. The films portray Arwen as becoming human through her love for Aragorn; as in the novel, she follows the choice of her ancestor Lúthien to become a mortal woman for the love of a mortal man. [8] [5] The films introduce a jewelled pendant called the Evenstar which Arwen gives to Aragorn as a token of their love. A similar pendant appears in Marion Zimmer Bradley's short story The Jewel of Arwen, although in that story Arwen gives it to "the Ring-Bearer" rather than to Aragorn. [a] In Tolkien's novel, Arwen gives Frodo "a white gem like a star...hanging upon a silver chain" before he leaves Minas Tirith, saying, "When the memory of the fear and the darkness troubles you...this will bring you aid". [T 9] years has been the lifespan of this gorgeous piece of jewelry. And in that time I wore it almost every day for the whole day.

Sauron uses the Palantír to show Aragorn a dying Arwen (a scene from the future) in the hope of weakening his resolve. [10] Thompson, Kristin (2011). "Gollum Talks to himself". In Bogstad, Janice M.; Kaveny, Philip E. (eds.). Picturing Tolkien. McFarland. p.41. ISBN 978-0-7864-8473-7.
