Arwen
Elven princess of Riven-dell. Arwen was the daughter of Elrond Half-Elven and Queen Celebrian. Born in the year 241 of the Third Age of the Sun, she was considered the greatest beauty of her time. She was known as Even-star by Elves, and often called Undómiel, or �evening-maid� by Men. For nearly three thousand years she lived in Rivendell and Lothlorien. In 2951, she met and fell in love with Aragorn, the heir to the Dunedain kingdoms. In 2980 they became betrothed, but Elrond forebade this marriage until Aragorn became king. Aragorn�s deeds in the War of the Ring resulted in fulfillment of Elrond�s conditions, and Arwen became Aragorn�s queen. For Arwen, this was a brave choice, for through this marriage she chose to share the ultimate fate of all mortals. She bore Aragorn several daughters and one son, and they reigned happily and well until Aragorn�s death in the year 120 of the Fourth Age. The following year Arwen went back to Lothlórien where she chose to die on Germ Aniroth, where she and Aragorn had been betrothed.
