Can Legolas die?
Well, no, he did not departed for the undying lands at the time of Lord of the Rings, because he left Middle-Earth, only after Aragorn’s death(which is for sure not in the books). But in Tolkien’s late works, we could know that Legolas Greenleaf departed for Aman(the undying lands) alongside with Gimli, son of Gloín.
Is the undying lands heaven?
No, the undying lands were in the beginning simply where the Valar decided to make their homes. Something I saw that helped clear the subject for me was that the Undying Lands are called that because the undying (Elves, Maiar, Valar) live there, not because it is heaven.
Do you die in the undying lands?
Yes, every mortal who goes to Aman (the Undying Lands) will eventually die. The Undying Lands were likely called that because immortals dwelled in them, not because they granted immortality. The Valar had neither the power nor the right to confer ‘immortality’ upon them.
Did Legolas ever marry?
Legolas never marries. The closest he gets is spending the rest of his life, as far as we know, with Gimli; they travel around Middle Earth for decades together, and eventually Gimli is given special dispensation to travel to the Undying Lands with his “friend” Legolas—the only dwarf ever to do so.
Can you leave the undying lands?
Theoretically, after you die, you can leave the Halls of Mandos and go wherever you want, including back to Middle Earth. The precedent for this is the (unconfirmed) reappearance of Glorfindel after being killed in the Fall of Gondolin by a balrog.
Why didnt Aragorn go to the undying lands?
No, he would not have been offered the chance. The only mortal beings that are offered the choice after the War of the Ring are Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, and Gimli. The first three are allowed to go because they were all Ringbearers (even if Sam only held it for a short time).
Why did Gimli want Galadriel’s hair?
From wikipedia: …he admits that he desires a single strand of her golden hair, so that he might treasure it and preserve it as an heirloom of his house. Tolkien made it very clear in his story that Gimli was enchanted (not literally) by Galadriel. He thought she was the fairest creature in Middle Earth.
What is so special about the undying lands?
The phrase ‘Undying Lands’ simply means Valinor, the half-mystical hidden continent to the West of Middle-earth. Long ago when the first Elves awoke, the Valar summoned them to Valinor to live with them, partially because they loved them and partially to protect them from the great evil Vala, Melkor or Morgoth.
