thorondil has just left Hobbiton.

>>We know that Hobbits are little humans with furry feet so they go to Mandos when they die, just like all other men.

>>What happens when they leave Mandos is anybody's guess.

Thought I might add a quote from Letter 131

Quote:
The Doom (or the Gift) of Men is mortality, freedom from the circles of the world. Since the point of view of the whole cycle is the Elvish, mortality is not explained mythically: it is a mystery of God of which no more is known than that 'what God has purposed for Men is hidden': a grief and an envy to the immortal Elves.
