What is the Light of the Evenstar?

In the "real world" the word Evenstar is an old term for the "evening star" (i.e. the planet Venus).

Where did Arwen get the Evenstar?

The Evenstar given to Aragorn In Peter Jackson's films, the jewel is replaced by the Evenstar, a silver necklace with a white stone, which is given to Aragorn by Arwen in Rivendell. This jewel was probably inspired by a jewel that Arwen gives to Frodo after the destruction of the One Ring.

Why is Arwen's life tied to the ring?

Arwen isn't necessarily dying because of the Ring, but now that she is mortal, she is dying through the slow decaying of time. Arwen also faces the same fate as all those in Middle Earth should the Ring Bearer fail his mission. So in that way, her fate is tied to the Ring.

LOTR The Two Towers - Arwen's Fate

Does the Evenstar break?

No. In the movie it only breaks in his dreams. You can see it around Aragorn's neck as they approach the black gate. Not the scene immediately after he drops the Seeing Stone when he's riding, but the next one where they arrive at the black gate.

Why is Arwen Half Elven?

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.

Aragorn isn't a half-elf, he's a tiny fraction of an elf. Elros, who was a half-elf (actually 9/16), was his very remote ancestor. But more importantly, the heirs of Elros were not given the choice to be elven or human, although the Valar did grant them unusually long life-spans.

Is the Arkenstone a Silmaril?

Reality: The Arkenstone is not a Silmaril. There are several reasons why this theory is incorrect. First, Tolkien wrote that the two lost Silmarils would remain lost until the end of Arda. One of them being found by the Dwarves would contradict this.

Is Arwens necklace in the books?

How did Strider get his name?

Why can't Arwen go to the undying lands?

And after their marriage, both Aragorn and Arwen are mortal. Arwen, therefore, could not set foot in the Undying Lands without special permission. And she wouldn't be likely to go after it in the end. So unfortunately, she would not go there, unlike Legolas, after Aragorn's passing.

Can a human and an elf have a child?

To put it another way, the child of a half-elf and a human will be human, unless the half-elf parent was the child of a full-blooded elf. Unless a half-elven line marries into other elven or half-elven families, their elf characteristics fade in a generation or two.
