    Earendil was born in the first age so he wouldn’t count but Elrond’s kids for sure count. I’m not sure Legolas would count since we don’t know when he was born. People assume he was born in the third age because of context clues but Tolkein never stated when Legolas was born.

      Why does the first age not count?

      Durin the 1st founded Khazad-dûm/Moria after he looked into the Mirrormere. That was some time in the First Age.

      Edit: Oh I see, if we assume Erebor as the origin place, then it would probably be in the Second or Third Age.
