By Arwen and Aragorn's marriage, the long-sundered lines of the Half-elves were joined. Their union also served to unite and preserve the bloodlines of the Three Kings of the High Elves ( Ingwë, Finwë, and the brothers Olwë and Elwë) as well as the only line with Maiar blood through Arwen's great-great-great grandmother, Melian, Queen of Doriath, and also on Aragorn's side, through the line of Kings of Arnor and Númenor to Elros, Elrond's brother, whose great-great-grandmother was also Melian. Arwen was described to be the most beautiful of the last generation of High Elves in Middle-earth, and was even said to bear a remarkable resemblance to her ancestress, Lúthien. J.R.R.

The Gift of an Arwen Evenstar Necklace

Arwen eventually became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor when she married Aragorn, who was of the line of the Kings of Arnor.

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 Undomiel was portrayed in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King by the American actress Liv Tyler. In The Fellowship of the Ring, it was she who met Frodo and bore him across the Ford of Bruinen, instead of Glorfindel, and wielded the sword " Hadhafang", which does not appear in the books. 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. Leibiger, Carol A. (2013) [2007].

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.

The Elfstone was made by an Elf smith in Gondolin named Enerdhil, whose skill in jewel-craft was second only to that of Fëanor. He gave it to Idril, who bore it upon her breast during the Fall of Gondolin, accounting for its escape. She gave it to her son Eärendil, who bore it upon his breast on his flight to the Undying Lands. Liv Tyler Biography". People. p.2. Archived from the original on 3 July 2008 . Retrieved 23 June 2008. The Tolkien scholar Dimitra Fimi comments that the procession of Elves in the scene "Arwen's vision" in the extended version borrows visually from the "Celtic" imagery of John Duncan's 1911 Pre-Raphaelite painting Riders of the Sidhe.

Arwen was a very distant relative of her husband Aragorn. Aragorn's ancestor, Elros Tar-Minyatur, the first King of Númenor, was her father Elrond's brother, who chose to live as a man rather than one of the Eldar. This means that Aragorn also has very distant Elvish ancestry. Elros died in SA 442, some 3240 years before Arwen was born. 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]As a Half-elven, Arwen had the choice between mortal life and eternal life as an immortal elf. She chose to become mortal and marry Aragorn, the human king of Gondor. Their love was a central theme in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and was based on the deep and enduring love shared by Lúthien and Beren, two characters from earlier in Tolkien's mythology.

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. Arwen played a small but important role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. She met Aragorn while he was travelling in Rivendell and they fell in love. She later helped Frodo and the other hobbits escape from the Nazgul by summoning a flood to sweep them away. Arwen arrived at Minas Tirith after Aragorn had become King of Gondor and Arnor, and they married on Midsummer's Day in the year TA 3019, after the end of the War of the Ring. She became Queen of the Reunited Kingdom. After marrying Aragorn, she bestowed upon Frodo Baggins a gift; her place on the ships to Valinor. She bore Aragorn's son, Eldarion, and several unnamed daughters, some time in the Fourth Age. 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] In earlier versions of the script, Arwen fought in the Battle of Helm's Deep and brought the sword Andúril to Aragorn. Some scenes of Arwen fighting in Helm's Deep were filmed before both the film's writers (with Liv Tyler's approval) reconsidered the change and deleted her from the sequence. [14] The critic John D. Rateliff wrote approvingly of the deletion of what he calls "Arwen, Warrior Princess", even though it came "at the cost of reducing her to a sort of Lady of Shallott languishing for most of the final two films". [15]Arwen said: "Dark is the Shadow, and yet my heart rejoices; for you, Estel, shall be among the great whose valour will destroy it."
