Going over the sea?
Why and what exactly happens when they go over the from the grey havens? Is there a destination? Is it the same when Legolas and Gimli go many years later? Thanks.
Also, is there a Tolkien or LOTR faq on the book itself? Thanks. |

I believe when they travel over the seas, they eventually reach the Undying Lands. If you've read the Silmarillion this is detailed there.

Re: Going over the sea?
but why do they go? Frodo in particular, and also Gandalf, elrond, etc. Gandalf's job is done, I know, but the others?

They went to Valinor where all elves go. The only Tolkien faq I've found (even though I'm sure there are many) is here www.daimi.aau.dk/~bouvin/tolkienfaq.html

I suggest you read the silmarillion, you'll most probably find many of your answers there.

Re: Going over the sea?
I like to think of it as going to a pre-heaven.

They would of gone to Eressa because mortals weren't allowed in Valinor
