He is thought to be over 10,000 years old by the time the War of the Ring takes place, and in all those many long years, he is credited with saving the entire elven race, selflessly putting his own wants and desires aside for the good of all, and of being a vessel through which the divine could communicate with the ...
Cirdan: All we know of Cirdan's origin is that he was a relative of Olwe and Elwe, and that he served as a lord among the people of Elwe. It's never specified whether he's older or younger than Olwe. But, Cirdan is the oldest (named/known) elf in Middle Earth (so, basically, not counting Valinor.)
Puberty and full height are attained at around their fiftieth to one hundredth year, when they stop aging physically.
Elves, like Men, are Children of Eru Ilúvatar and thus are very similar to Men. But Unlike Men, they are immortal, as their bodies do not age; once they have reached maturity, so that they do not seem to become elderly or die of old age.
Elrond is roughly 6,437 years old during The Hobbit and 6,497 in The Lord of the Rings. Elrond is phenomenally old by the time of The Lord of the Rings, but even with his 6,000+ years, he is surprisingly not the oldest elf in Middle-earth.
Apperently Legolas is older than Elrond : r/lotr.
Average Elven Lifespan
Elves have the ability to live forever thanks to their immortality. Elves like Elrond, who was over 6000 years old in The Lord of the Rings, are not hard to come by.
That said, the people behind the “official movie guide” for The Lord of the Rings list Legolas as being born in the year 87 of the Third Age of Middle-earth, which makes him some 2,931 years old around the time of the War of the Ring, which happened over 3,000 years into the Third Age of Middle-earth.
Elf Traits
An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Alignment: Elves love freedom, variety, and self- expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos.
Narrative. Arwen was the youngest child of Elrond, lord of the Elvish sanctuary of Rivendell and leader of the High Elves remaining in Middle-earth at the end of the Third Age, and Celebrían, daughter of Galadriel, ruler of the Elvish forest realm of Lothlórien. Her elder brothers were the twins Elladan and Elrohir.
Elves are way more powerful in the first age.
According to Tolkien, in The Lord of the Rings' history and lore, only the Elves of Middle-earth and the beings called the Ainur, which refers to the Valar and their servants the Maiar, are immortal.
Unlike the race of Men, they didn't physically age. They just remained constant -- an unchanging incarnation of their eternal form. Thus, once they were 100 years old, they looked the same for the rest of their lives. While Elves were done growing at 100 years old, they never stopped growing mentally.
Galadriel. One of the elves who lived in Middle Earth the longest was The Lady of Lothlorien, who arrived in the First Age and left in the Fourth. Galadriel's enigmatic abilities were tremendous, having learned magic from Valar and Maiar. All Middle Earth's races feared her, including men, dwarves, and Sauron's army.
An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old. Elves take their time doing things because of their long life span. So to them 100 years feels like what 20 years feels like to a Human.
Death and reincarnationedit edit source
Elves are naturally immortal; like the Ainur, they are bound to Arda until its End. Elves are immune to all diseases, and they can recover from wounds which would normally kill a mortal Man. Nonetheless, Elves can be physically slain or die of grief and weariness.
Legolas is an elf, so he is immortal. However, he is only immortal in the sense that he will never die of old age or sickness. He can die in battle.
Aragorn led the forces of the Reunited Kingdom on military campaigns against some Easterlings and Haradrim, re-establishing rule over much territory that Gondor had lost in previous centuries. He died at the age of 210, after 122 years as king.
For orcs, the age at which they're officially "adult" comes a little later than humans. Orcs reach maturity at about age 18-20. Middle age is around age 40 or so, old age at 65, venerable age at 80, and they rarely live beyond 100 years of age.
Gandalf's age is impossible to determine, but he's likely existed for at least 10,000 years, making him much older than Legolas.
The actor is suffering from Legolas Syndrome — where you accidentally get cast into a role that suits you far more than your real-life looks, leaving you with a tricky predicament after the wrap party.
His prowess with a bow was unmatched among the Fellowship and, as J.R.R. Tolkien stated himself, Legolas was “endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies,” as well as an inability to feel terrible hurts, which made it easy for him to travel long distances over rough terrain in only light shoes.
The longest living Dwarf was Dwalin who lived to become 340 years old, 80 years older than the second oldest Dwarf. Hobbits lived a very quiet and uneventful life compared to other races and since they had the habit of drawing their family tree their age distribution is fairly narrow.
She already feels an outcast after Gil-galad tried to send her back to the Undying Lands, and she fears that if she reveals what she has done, it will be the final nail in the coffin. Instead, when Elrond pulls her from the river Glanduin, and she races back inside to Celebrimbor's forge, she chooses to stay silent.
