She lived out her long life at her father's House at Rivendell, and also at times among her mother's people in Lórien. In the year III 2951, when she was 2,710 years old, she returned to Rivendell after a time in Lórien and there she encountered the young Aragorn, who was at that time being fostered by her father Elrond. Soon after that encounter, Aragorn left to adventure in the Wild, but Arwen met him again in Lórien some twenty-nine years later. On the mound of Cerin Amroth, the two plighted their troth. Aragorn's horse Roheryn was a gift from Arwen, and when he went to war at the end of the Third Age, Arwen made a jewelled banner for him. It was this banner that he flew from the captured ships of the Corsairs at the Battle of the Pelennor. After Aragorn became King, they wed at midsummer in the year of the Downfall of Barad-dûr. Arwen gave up her immortality to wed a mortal, the only Elf since Lúthien to do so. She remained Aragorn's Queen for more than a hundred years, but when at last he died, Arwen passed into the empty land of Lórien, and was never seen again. It is said that her life ended on the same mound of Cerin Amroth where she had stood with Aragorn so long before. Notes 1 As the daughter of Elrond and Celebrían, Arwen was Half-elven, and thus effectively immortal during the Third Age. She abandoned her immortality to wed the mortal Aragorn in III 3019, and so lived as a mortal for [123 years](../chronicle.html?startyear=3019&startage=3&endyear=121&endage=4&c=The Mortal Life of Arwen Evenstar).
