That's a cool idea tbh. Because...wait, this suddenly makes me wonder - since elves are immortal, wouldn't it be feasible for them to very slowly grow back amputated body parts (like ears) over time, like a gecko? IDK it just seems like the sort of thing that would be REALLY helpful or even necessary for an immortal species, since you'd expect the vast majority of them to get mutilated in accidents, not to mention violence, at SOME point in their thousands of years of life, it just seems like after several thousand years you'd wind up with a race chock full of awfully battered and disfigured people if they didn't have powers of regrowth. I assume Maedhros never regrew his hand but he died only something like 600 years after getting it cut off and also a hand is a lot more complicated than ears so...

and in this context, it could be like "you will have suffered adequate punishment for your crime and be accepted back into society after your ears grow back." Or cutting off larger portions that would take longer to grow back for the worst crimes and smaller ones for somewhat less severe ones...?

Or maybe regrowth is possible but only in Aman?

(loool Sorry for hijacking this secret OP)

OMG, gecko elves = my new headcanon. That rationale makes perfect sense - what are the ridiculously steep odds of going for thousands of years without ever *once* getting into a severe accident or attack that leaves you maimed or disabled? It's just really really unlikely now that I think of it.

Aaand now I've got a strong visual of Arwen doing a slow, deliberate gecko walk on the ceiling of someone's hotel room.

Thank you VERY much :-P

OP's secret is great but your ramblings on it are even better. I'd totally read a fic where this was theme.
