Which means, come to think of it, that Tharonwe is more or less leading the group to Nimrodel. Whether they would think of that or not is in doubt. Whether Tharonwe would think of this and stop, has yet to be determined. Any thoughts?

Begin Tuppence:
I think that the elves, remembering how eager Amroth was to confront Tharonwe, would want to avoid letting him get too far away, in case Amroth resurfaced. I don't think it would be an avid pursuit.
Nimrodel is still in South Gondor, in the regions of the paths of the dead. I'm imagining that, if they knew they were headed to South Gondor, the group will head towards Mindolluin rather than crossing the White Mountains in winter? And I don't see the Gondorians objecting to that; how the Rohirrim will feel about it is another question.
Perhaps the Gondorians (Especially Erundil and Ravion) see their duty to return home and report what they have seen? The elves don't argue since Tharonwe is going that way. Mellondu and Mellonin are not sorry to be headed home-- that is, Mellondu isn't sorry until he has more dreams about Nimrodel.
I'm not sure what Aeron would think about returning to Gondor... Immy?
I've got to get back into having my characters dreaming... perhaps when Erebemlin is happily setting up camp further from the battleground.
End tuppence.
