The Fellowship in Valinor

[Lord of Angmar]

The group dynamic of the Fellowship who departed for Valinor was very clear-cut while they remained in Middle Earth; Sam and Frodo were best friends and the main partakers in the destruction of the Ring. Gimli and Legolas, likewise, were great friends. Gandalf was their leader. In Valinor, it would be interesting to see how the dynamic changed, as they interacted with Elves of the Blessed Realm and sat in peace (as opposed to the constant turmoil of the events surrounding the War of the Ring). For one thing, Gandalf would (presumably) be revealed in a 'truer' form than the form of a bent old man that he wore in Middle Earth. He would perhaps wear a fairer raiment or even walk 'naked', invisible to mortal and even Elvish eye. I wonder how this would affect the mortals; Frodo, Sam, and Gimli, who I think (with the possible exception of Frodo) never fully grasped who Gandalf was or gleaned an understanding of his true nature. Finally, I have a wild question to pose to the members of this forum: Does anyone think that it would be possible, because of the circumstances of Smeagol's life, the role he played (although unwilling and indeliberately) in the destruction of the Ring, and the torture he endured at the hands of the One Ring, for the Valar or even Iluvatar to have cleansed him after his death, and perhaps even allowed him to abide in Valinor for awhile? Alas, 'tis late, and my mind tends to wander after I have supped and sat down to tea. If this is in any way an unoriginal thread, please inform me, but otherwise, feel free to endow this topic with conjecture on the general subject!

Cheers!
