Roark: Dec 1, 2009; A moderate man - a violently moderate man.

I just reread one of my favorite parts of the Unfinished Tales, Aldarion and Erendis - less dumb elves, more Men. Possibly a dumb question, but did Tolkien ever establish how long the regular N�men�reans live? The kings seem to live 400 to 500 years before they abandoned the Valar, but the lifespan of non-royals like Erendis seems to be all over the place (from 200 to "five times the length of normal men").

There's going to be a Christopher Tolkien edited standalone The Tale of Beren and L�thien in 2017.
