The Fukin Prophecy
RIP Champ
Yes technically they aren't completely immortal, there are only two things that can kill elves, fatal wounds and basically what amounts to depression...They can't die from aging or diseases, there is no decaying trees that kills elves, that is all made up total nonsense...
I'm not going to spoiler this since the show has nothing to do with the books...
In the books, Sauron forges the one ring in secret and destroys Eregion...In response to that, Ar-Pharazon sailed his army east to ME to defend Lindon and then marched them straight into Mordor...Sauron knew he could not defeat that massive army, he came down from Barad-dur in his fair form known as Annatar, he bent the knee without a fight and was then taken captive to Numenor (the show already ruined this entire story arc)...Annatar begins spinning lies into king Ar-Pharazons ear about how unfair it is elves are basically immortal and can't die from old age like men...He convinces Ar-Pharazon to break the Ban of the Valar (Numenoreans were banned from sailing west of their island) to achieve immortality in Aman. The Valar feared the Numenoreans would destroy Valinor but they were forbidden from using force against men. The Valar called upon Eru Iluvatar (the one god of ME) to intervene and he responded by drowning Numenor into the sea.
