When the ship got there............
Random observations from the Holy mountain #3:
Did Tolkien write anywhere about what happened when the Ship of the Ringbearers reached Valinor? Seriously! think about it! Galadriel hadn't seen her father Finarfin for 7,052 years! And all of her brothers died at different points during the first age, so she hadn't seen them for over 6,000 years! And poor Elrond, now 6,520 years old if my calculations are correct, had never met his parents (within memory, unless elves reach sapience at 2) before this! Not to mention that Frodo and Bilbo were the first hobbits, the first mortals since the disobedient Numenoreans ,and the first PEACEFUL mortals since Tuor, to come to Valinor. And Gandalf was the only one of the five Ishtari to return! This is some amazing stuff!
