Home > Undying Lands

The treacherous Sauron deceived Ar-Pharazôn, last king of Númenor, into thinking the ruler of the Undying Lands would himself be undying, and the king prepared to invade. To prevent this, Ilúvatar destroyed Númenor and placed the Undying Lands beyond the reach of mortals, although Elves could still sail there. A few others have been said to have made the journey in the company of Elves by special arrangement: the Hobbits Bilbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee and the Dwarf Gimli.
