Yes, the elves go into the West and are never heard from again, but Tolkien was just kidding when he wrote that Legolas sailed down the Anduin, into the Sea, and so into Valinor. In fact, after he was done dealing with the threat of Sauron and the silly orcs and whatnot, Legolas came straight to my place. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Sorry sorry sorry, I know that these discussions are meant to be advanced, but I couldn't resist.
I do, actually, have a legitimate question: When it's time for the world to be rebuilt, are the elves part of that? Or are they not allowed to leave Valinor ever again, even though the world is made anew?
