 |

I am looking for information on the rites of passage for the Elves. I am sure that they must have had them. I cannot think of any culture that did not. It just seems to make sense. So, if you have any thoughts, ideas or even, heaven forbid, concrete knowlegde, I am open. I am leaving for vacation for two weeks, so I may not get to wallow in the food for thought, but I will check it out on my return home.
And a heartfelt thanks in advance.

I would not think they would be very naughty. I am mostly just looking for how they would celebrate. Any ceremonies and whatnot. But I am open to any suggestions. Do you have any???

Well, I would assume the 50th begetting day would be important on a physical level. They have reached their adulthood in stature. Then also their 100th, when they reach adulthood as elves, rather than elflings. I would assume there would be ceremonies for that kind of thing.
Maybe if you live to be a million you get another party? For sheer oldness?

Okay, that does raise a question. When do they mature? I have read 50, and I have seen 100. Which is correct? Bear in mind that I DO NOT HAVE a copy of Morgoth's Ring, the penultimate reference it seems. But I still need to know. And what would be the effect of one who is half-Elven and whose other culture would mature at 40. Burning questions.
