How a Man Became an Elf - Tuor's Complex Ending

Tuor was an incredibly powerful and special man in Tolkien’s works, and he alone of the mortal kindred became an Elf. Let’s talk about how this happened! Thank you all for watching, let me know all of your Tuor thoughts in the comments below! As always, a great thanks to the online artists whose visual works made this video possible! If you are one of the artists, please let me know and I will post your name and a link to your work in this description!
