Re: When Elves are slain... (Glorfindel)

Welcome Fingon. You are correct. The Silmarillion states that Finrod walks with his father in Valinor. After his death, he "served his time" in Mandos and was allowed to re-enter his body. Some debate may exist as to whether an elf rebuilds his own body or it is done for him by the Valar.
