Pallando B.C. - Concerning Halls of Mandos:
Quote:
HoME XII, Late Writings
Elves were destined to be 'immortal', that is not to die within the unknown limits decreed by the One, which at the most could be until the end of the life
of the Earth as a habitable realm. Their death - by any injury to their bodies so severe that it could not be healed - and the disembodiment of their spirits was an 'unnatural'and grievous matter. It was therefore the duty of the Valar [emphasis mine - H-I], by command of the One, to restore them to incarnate life, if they desired it. But this 'restoration' could be delayed by Manwe, if the fea while alive had done evil deeds and refused to repent of them, or
still harboured any malice against any other person among the living.

as for the ban you mention, Alatar_69, it was cancelled after Earendil's, so yes, Frodo & Co reached Aman alright
