Gandalf [merged]

That was EXCELLENT!!!

"Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. It would be very unwise to bring him news of his beloved sons death. Best not to speak of it. And be careful not to mention Frodo or the ring. Or Aragorn, say nothing of him. In fact, it's best you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took."

Anyone know when Gandalf dies or does he live forever in the Undying lands??

After the War of the Ring Gandalf sailed from the Grey Havens with Elrond, Bilbo, and Frodo. It is believed that he also took his beloved horse, Shadowfax.

*chuckles* I believe Gandalf lived forever in the Undying Lands until the Valar thought it was time for him to pass.

No dummies shadowfax died in the book of rotk. they didn't show it and also when you leave to the grey havens u die off at sea. so read the books!!!!

hey cgtuna21 but i tot that when you go to the grey havens you r i mortal? that is what i heard

Can't you write normal English?

for starters yes they should write in normal english, this isn't a mobile phone thing, you don have to shorten letters to save money or whatnot,

Anyhoo I was having a debating with a few friends about Gandalfs reasong on living, when he returned as Gandalf they white he claims that he has been "sent back until my task is complete" - mmm.. just a wild guess but I am guessing that is until the ring is destroyed. well once the ring was destroyed shouldn't gandalf gone back to the afterlife??

Gandalf was a Ring bearer, he was given the ring of Fire, the movie doesnt explain but the book does, This is why Gandalf goes West, Sam Goes west as well as hewas a ring bearer, Gimli and Legolas also go west hundreds of years later after Aragorn dies, They are alowed because they were a part of the Fellowship.

how old was gimli in the war of the ring? and how old was he when he left middle earth?

Hmm I don't remember Shadow fax dying in the book. Maybe I was reading too fast.
Also, in which book does Tolkien explain the Maia and Vala?

🤨 😑 😖 🤪 What books have you read? Not LOTR or other Tolkien's books for sure

Shadowfax didn't died. And even Tolkien didn't states what happenned to him in LOTR book, by his letters it is commonly accepted that he sailed with Gandalf.

🙂

I wish they would have mentioned in themovie how Gandalf got ShadowFax, he practically stole him from Theodin.

Shadowfax does not die in LotR. Ithink you are mistaking Sahdowfax for Theoden's horse Snowmane who gets killed by the Witchking's "fell beast". Snowmane is later buried on the Pelennor fields with a stone saying:
"faithful servant yet master's bane,
Lightfoot's foal, swift snowmane."

It seems like Gandalf lives forever in the undying lands.......That's what I understood.

I dont remeber Shadowfax death either. Someone thinks there Tolkien again and making up stuff 🙂

Thank you! I try not to quote what I don't know for sure. If I am wrong I will admit it but it is good to know that after being told to read the books, by someone who sounds like they read Dr.Suess instead of LOTR(cgtuna). It is good to know that i was right. 🙄

You really don't realize how foolish you make yourself come off saying something like that do you?

How old are you, 12?

Shadowfax does not die.

And it was rather funny how Gandalf got him from Theodin. I wis he explained more about where he comes form. Lord of Horses.
