The War of Wrath lasted 40-some years. Earendil's sons were born 532 and would have been 13 years old when the Hosts of Valinor came to aid Middle-earth. Tolkien's elves physically age very slowly, being considered adults at 50 and full-grown at 100. I propose the twins matured faster than full-blooded elves, but far slower than full-blooded men, being about half-grown at 30.
This chapter chronologically precedes the first.
