I was under the impression that men also went to the halls of Mandos, but perhaps I'll have to read the Sil again.

You know, we didn't have the commandments until centuries after God created the world, assuming that Genesis is true. [I don't think arguments about the validity of this book is appropriate right now.] Probably because until then, God had thought that we could get along without God having to spell out our duties (for lack of a better word) for us. So I just find that part of your post interesting, Saucepan Man.

Cheers,
