This... actually kind of made my day 8) Peter Jackson’s movies emphasize with great humor the bromance between Gimli and Legolas, an unlikely pairing of people from races typically at odds. Theirs is a bond forged during war, and many movie-goers likely wonder what happens to the two of them afterward. The appendix of Return of the King offers an answer as adorable as it is improbable. After Aragorn dies, Legolas builds a boat and sets sail for Valinor (also known as the Undying Lands) where the elves and all living ring bearers have gone. There, mortals achieve functional immortality. Legolas goes to paradise, and he takes Gimli with him.The appendix notes how remarkable it is that the elves and the higher powers of Middle-earth would accept a dwarf in paradise. But Gimli wants to see the beauty of the elf Galadriel one last time, and she uses her power and influence to get him into heaven. Therefore, the Gimli-Legolas bromance will quite literally never die.
