Elrond's big mistake? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hello my good people!

I think this quote can be read otherwise. From what I thought after reading LotR the gift to Frodo is the white medaillion she gave him for great pains. I remember him wearing it when he was ill in April and in October, clutching it with his hand. If it had any powers against his illness I don't know and that would be rash to conclude.

The reason he was going to Valinor was because of him being a Ring-bearer. Otherwise I can't see why Bilbo and Sam were permitted to go as well, for I don't know anybody else who made the same choice as Arwen in that time, so no one should be able to give their places to them.

It's another thought on the subject, but that's what discussing is about, ain't it? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

greetings,
