Since Sam was a ring bearer for a brief time, he was granted passage into the Undying Lands, and he crossed over to once again reunite with Frodo. Nothing is known about Samwise's fate, or what the Undying Lands are even like, but it still feels like an appropriate end for the character.
After his wife's passing, Sam entrusted the Red Book of Westmarch to Elanor. According to Elanor, Same went to the Grey Havens and sailed to the Undying lands to be reunited with Frodo. As Sam was also a Ring-bearer (although only for a brief time) he was granted passage to sail into the West.
After recovering at the Field of Cormallen and witnessing the crowning of Aragorn as King Elessar, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin all returned to the Shire.
Yes. In appendix B of the Return of the King, there is a chronology of some events that took place after the story, and that includes a few times Sam, Merry, and Pippin met Aragorn.
Does Frodo ever see Sam again after The Lord of the Rings?
What happened to Legolas after the return of the king?
After the War
After the death of King Elessar, Legolas made a ship in Ithilien, and through Anduin, he left Middle-earth to go over the sea. His strong friendship with Gimli prompted him to invite Gimli to go to the Undying Lands; making him the first and only Dwarf to do so.
Eventually, Legolas came to Ithilien with some of his people, with his father's leave, to live out his remaining time in Middle-earth helping to restore the woodlands that had been war-torn. After Aragorn's death, Legolas made a ship in Ithilien and left Middle-earth to go over the sea.
The purity of Valinor gives Frodo relief from his wounds since the presence of evil in Middle-earth keeps them fresh, and he likely lives a considerably longer life than he would have. Still, he doesn't live forever.
Summary. In the novel, there is a 17-year gap between Frodo taken possession of The One Ring and leaving the Shire on his quest. Gandalf has no reason to suspect Bilbo's ring was The One Ring, and it took him 17 years of searching before he could reach that conclusion.
Because of this, Frodo believes that if he leaves Middle Earth and sails to the Undying Lands (a place only immortal beings and Ring bearers are able to enter) that he will finally find peace and be able to live out the rest of his life free of physical and mental pain.
Tolkien attributed Sam's resistance to the One Ring to two main factors: "In that hour of trial it was the love of his master that helped most to hold him firm, but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense." Ultimately, Sam's greatest desire was not to defeat Sauron or transform Mordor into ...
Bilbo's Compassion Protected Him From The Ring's Corruption
Luckily, Bilbo's compassion causes him to show mercy. The importance of that moment is revealed in one of Gandalf's wisest quotes when he tells Frodo that Bilbo's pity and compassion in acquiring the Ring help protect him from its corrupting power: “Pity?
Arguably, Frodo would never have made it to the fires if Sam didn't muster the strength to physically get him there. Later, when Gollum knowingly led Frodo through Shelob's lair, Sam saved Frodo's life.
Men were never allowed to enter the Undying Lands after the fall of Numenor and any attempts to reach the lands would result in failure or disaster. Aragorn, despite his heroic deeds, likely wouldn't have accepted an invitation to ensure his duties as king.
At the age of 102, Merry returned to Rohan and Gondor with Pippin; they died in Gondor, and were laid to rest among the Kings of Gondor in Rath Dínen, the street of tombs, then moved to lie next to Aragorn.
After the Battle of Bywater, it was largely restored to normal, and Frodo took up residence in the hole again. After Frodo Baggins left Middle-earth, he gave Bag End to Samwise Gamgee, whose family, the Gardners, would live in it for many years.
Gandalf knew exactly where the Ring was, and who owned it. At any time he could've stepped in to help Bilbo destroy it if he did indeed confirm it was the One Ring. However, Gandalf would also have known how corrupting an influence the Ring can be. So he wouldn't have taken it himself, even if he had known earlier.
How long was Gandalf gone after giving Frodo the Ring?
Coming to his senses, Bilbo admits that the ring has been troubling him, and leaves it behind for Frodo as he departs for Rivendell. Over the next 17 years, Gandalf travels extensively, searching for answers on the ring. He finds some answers in Isildur's scroll, in the archives of Minas Tirith.
How much time passed between Bilbo leaving and Frodo leaving?
The Lord of the Rings picks up 60 years later with Bilbo's birthday party in 3001, but then there's a time skip of 17 years between Bilbo leaving the Shire and Frodo beginning his quest, meaning the bulk of The Lord of the Rings is set in 3018, some 77 years after The Hobbit.
Though Gimli has no children, he is not the last Dwarf of Middle-earth. After the fall of Sauron, his people continued to thrive in the Lonely Mountain. Gimli made his home in Rohan, in the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, and many of his kinsfolk came with him.
Gandalf's last job in Middle-earth was to bring Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, the Ring-bearers, to the Undying Lands. It could be that this task was exactly why Gandalf stayed in Middle-earth for so long after the One Ring was destroyed.
As far as we know, those elves go on to lead beautiful immortal lives in the Undying Lands. And later, Frodo and Bilbo presumably lived the remainder of their mortal lives in peace. Galadriel didn't jump ship because she was afraid of death.
Legolas, the son of Mirkwood's Elven king Thranduil, is indicated to be attracted to her, but as she is a lowly Silvan Elf, she does not believe herself worthy of him. Thranduil, in fact, makes it clear that he does not consider her to be a suitable match for his son and warns her not to give Legolas false hope.
Legolas does not marry or have any children, based on the appendix of The Lord of the Rings. Regardless of who his mother was, Legolas is the last of his line. When he sails into the West at the beginning of the Fourth Age, he leaves no family members behind.
