Great topic! Let me add a question (or two)... Are the Ents considered to be immortal (like the elves), or just extremely long-lived? As such, would they be welcome in Valinor?

As I recall from the Silmarillion, Eru had plans for the "souls" of elves and men (granted, his plan for men remained a mystery, but it is enough to know that there WAS a plan) and even the Dwarves were taken care of after Aulë's little coup d'etat... but is there anywhere in the works of Tolkien a mention of the afterlife of the Ents?
