What also bugs me is the immortal population. The entire culture can't be mannish (with Elvish sprinkled here and there) and still choose be immortal because they're half-elven. The peredhil had to choose if they followed the immortal lifestyle of Elves, or the mortal lives of men. If they don't have enough Elvish blood in them, they don't even get a choice, they have to live the life of a man. I assume they wouldn't get to choose the life of a man if they had too little mannish blood in them, either. Is that my problem? I think a huge factor of this is that you all have personal problems with my lore, in that you don't care much for it.

The population of Ka'ax Toliath is half Elven, and a large part of their culture is Elven. Therefor, they are immortal. With the Tithendar, they are Elves. The Manuwaith were created out of the ambient magic on the atoll of Misranai, so it makes sense for them to be immortal. With the Inya Neitibu, the whole point of them is that they were modified to have the Elven gene of immortality, and once they founded their nation, they took on a large amount of Elven culture. Finally, with the Kubwa Khazad, they aren't actually immortal. They reincarnate, which fits, as they are Dwarves.
