Oh, you're talking about it from Tolkien's point of view. I really do need x-rays done. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Oops.

Well then, in regards to the venerable Elves, are you really asserting that they never faded away? I would have to disagree. Because the author said that they all eventually departed for Valinor, and that was the end of that. Until the world was to be re-made, that is. As for the Dwarves, maybe I am wrong, but I always viewed Tolkien is to have wanted to shroud their fate in a bit of mystery. You can only speculate so much, I suppose. But then again, my reading of Tolkien is woefully incomplete.
