What if the One Ring was taken to valinor?
They allowed Frodo, Bilbo and Gimli to sail West with them after the ring was destroyed, so they weren’t forbidden to invite non-elves.
Why didn’t they just throw the ring into the sea?
The point of destroying the ring was not to keep him from getting stronger, but to destroy that power, and it’s master. So if the ring was at the bottom of the ocean, or under a mountain, it would make no difference to Sauron having access to it’s power.
Why couldn’t the elves take the ring?
Remember that the power of the Elves – and they still possessed much power, more than mortal Men – did not make them immune to the Ring’s corruption, but quite the opposite. The more powerful they were, the more they would be tempted to use the Ring, to master it with their power, and thus fall.
Did the ring bearers and Gimli die in Valinor?
Did the Ring Bearers and Gimli die in Valinor? The Undying Lands doesn’t prevent mortals from dying so, in fact, [Frodo] died… maybe sixty years (or more, if his life was prolonged) after the end of the story. If this is correct, Gimli certainly would have died.
Does Frodo go to Valinor mortal?
Frodo is mortal, and going to Valinor doesn’t change this. I don’t remember this being explicitly stated in The Lord of the Rings. Book VI closes as Frodo sails away. Gandalf, Galadriel and the others do not make any prophecies regarding what will happen in Valinor.
Where did Sam and Frodo go when they went to Valinor?
As Keith says below, Sam and Frodo did not go to Valinor but to Tol Eressea, the Lonely Isle. This was an island off the shores of Valinor where many elves dwelt. It was not considered part of Valinor but was still blessed with many of its qualities.
How long did Gollum live after the ring was destroyed?
Gollum lived for over 500 years because of it. Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam all aged slowly before making their way to Valinor, even after the Ring’s destruction.
