Explanation

In J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium, Luthien Tinuviel was the first Elf-lady to die of sorrow after her husband Beren was killed by Morgoth's wolf Carcharoth. She chose mortality to be with Beren in Mandos. Arwen Undomiel would later make a similar choice, but Luthien's story came first. Galadriel remained immortal in Middle-earth, and Melian returned to Valinor after Thingol's death.
