youv'e set up your charrie, but you don't know how old they are, you want them to be say 16 in elvish years but whats that in human. Here is your answer.
The Elves follow to types of year, the Solar year, 365 days and the Yen year, 144 solar years. Why, the Solar year is for ritual perposes. The Yen Year is the normall elvish year. Its really long becuse the elves live along time. ( to cheack this go to the Appendix D, LOTR) so to find out your human age against your elvish, (16yearold) age multiply the age by 144, ie.

Yen year Human years
1 144
2 288
3 432
4 576
5 720
6 864
7 1008
8 1152
9 1296
10 1440
11 1584
12 1728
13 1872
14 2016
15 2160
16 2304
17 2448
18 2592
19 2736
20 2880
21 3024

Come on, no Elf would be depressed about some trifling 6000 years. Besides, that entitles you to be the wisest and fairest, like Galadriel.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think it said anything about how the elves aged. I may have missed it. It did say that they considered a year 144 years, but it doesn't say how they aged.
