I would like to comment on your second...well...comment. Gandalf was allowed to go back to the Blessed Realm because he himself was a maiar, only in human form. Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam got to go there because they were ring-bearers, or, more technically, FORMER ringbearers. And Gimli, I don't know whats up with that, but hey, im not complaining. And, in the case of Elf-Human marrages, the elf forsakes their immortality, so they are no longer elven really. And still they are gifted with life until all they have gained in being a human is lost. Just commenting.....Seeya [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
