AdamantFor hundreds of years or longer, the Heterodynes used the Jägerbräu to produce superhuman soldiers. Now, the Bräu is hardly safe (at least a 90% fatality rate).

Jorge CórdobaWe know elves do procreate and have children. We know they do have sex. Immortal beings with normal reproduction would fill Middle Earth if left unchecked (like rabbits). We see Elrond with 3 children in 3500 years which would be unlikely for a human. I can only think of 3 reasons: Reduced se...
