Dwarves in Heaven? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I hope that this isn't too newbie of a question for this board. Here goes.
On another site, there is a discussion concerning Gimli accompanying Legolas to the Undying Lands. I can't think of anything that forbids them from going. There was no prohibition from the Valar, as there was for the Noldor. No prohibitions not to seek the Lands, as there was for the Numenoreans. I don't believe that the thought had entered in to the mind of a Dwarf before Gimli met Galadriel. I don't think that I know what happens to Dwarves that cease to be. I have heard rumors of re-incarnation since there are repeating Durins in history, but nothing solid.
Inform me, Ye Loremasters! what happens to Aule's children when life leaves them and Why couldn't Gimli go to the Undying Lands? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
