Re: .....

It became a particularly one-way trip after the Fall of Numenor and the Change of the World. In Letters, JRRT suggests that a "resident" of Aman could return to Middle Earth only with the assistance of the Valar (the Istari, being Ainur themselves, could accomplish the trip through their own abilities). Thus the Straight Road became one way.

Welcome to the Downs, Jallanite!
