What Happened AFTER The Lord Of The Rings?

The Lord of the Rings films ends with Frodo sailing off into the West with Sam returning to the Shire to his love Rosie. Sam and Rosie had 13 children together and at the grand age of 102, Sam also sailed West to see Frodo again. For the Elves, their time on Middle Earth had passed, and the vast majority of them left soon after. For the Ents, they never found the Ent wives, slowly turning into trees over the long centuries. The Dwafs prospered, but slowly faded into legend as they dug ever deeper into their mountains. Aragorn ruled as a wise and fair king, with his descendants ruling for a hundred generations, with his kingdom protecting human and hobbit alike.

Humans go to the Halls as well, but they quickly pass on to whatever awaits them beyond the circles of the world. When Arwen binds herself to Aragorn, she shares his fate as well. She will die after he dies, and her spirit will travel onward instead of being returned to the world of the living. It's one of the reasons Elrond is reluctant to let her marry Aragorn: marrying a mortal man doesn't just mean that she will die. It means she will be separated from her family until the end of the world.

    And, crucially - at some point Sumeria, Egypt and Babylon rise, as Tolkien conceived of LOTR as the lost ancient history of our world. This does add a rather poignant note to the ending, as eventually we know Gondor does fall, and is forgotten, as are the elves, dwarves and hobbits (at least until Tolkien translates the Red Book of Westmarch around 1932).

    Main comments and below I get. I would like to add the thought- that Tolkien may very well have felt he lived in his own post LOTR world. The dragons of lore had been slain, the generations had such length that the heroic blood of epic warriors was too thin. But the world also balances out with equal powers if they choose muster themselves. Something not mentioned in the video is that Tolkien did start to write another dark uprising, I think of followers of Sauron a very lesser but formidable version of the dark riders. That descendants of Aragorn and Rohan dwellers fight off. But the telling wasn't as exciting or epic in scale as LOTR, so he never finished the full narrative.

    It does beg the question though, if everything was going happen like this- the dwarves delving and elves and magic more or less leaving, what was the point? I would like to suggest that the point doesn't change. Would you rather the time left be spent in dark shadow of Sauron or in the bright feilds of Rohan or the Shire? Would you prefer that evil thrive because it doesn't have long reign anyway(over select races) or preserve and savor goodness you helped preserve? Everything passes, I think, is a grand point of LOTR in the respect you brought up. I also think that another grand point of it is that because everything passes- things can be changed and fought against, too good or doom.

    To add to this: Merry and Pippin became leaders of their houses. They developed many good relations with humans and the remaining elves and did much research into the bloodlines of hobbits and their rolls, however small, in important events in middle earth. The museums and libraries they added to had countless lore researched by the two themselves, adding to later editions of the Red Book of Westmarch. Eventually Merry died as the leader of his line of old age, while Pippin eventually returned to Minas Tirith and was counted as chronicler and advisor for Aragorn until his death.

    What bugs me the most is the dwarves. I understand their greed after the rings of power caused them to isolate and dig deeper and deeper made them essentially vanish but they obviously still existed in massive numbers and continues reproducing/growing. I wish Tolkien would’ve had them come out of their caverns and blend back into middle earth after the one ring was destroyed.

    It was Tolkien's intent, at least for a time, that his tales of Middle Earth be folklore representing prehistoric Europe of our actual world (Arda). This idea underlied his rejection that Tom Bombadil was the physical manifestation of Iluvatar, that Jesus was the only incarnation of the creator in this world. So, to this end, it makes sense that ME would start to resemble our actual world where Dwarves don't exist (to our knowledge).

    @@allenwilhelm7799 wrong. Jesus would be like Gandalf. A maia incarnated as a human. Being a maia some kind of high spirit, that is deeply and conciously connected to Eru Ilúvatar, but which power is limited somehow by his spirit being incarnated in a human body, and so they can die (like the istari). And also, Jesús himself told that he speak to some kind of father which was none other than Eru. So its wrong to say jesus was Eru, because Eru is Fatherless. He's the prime source of creation. And everything came from him. But we can say that Jesus, as Gandalf, where manifestations of Eru. Messengers sent by him (Messiah's or Angels incarnated) to speak in his name and guide his other childs through the music of his creation. Anyways, there are other points that prove what I'm saying. And those are that Jesus was not the only one of his kind. Even if the religions wants you to believe it, even if he was one of the most famous, there where more like him, and there will be. Humanity was always guided by beings that already experienced this experience you and I are experiencing and uppon the end, upoon arriving to the peak of his existence as humans, rather than transcend, they decided to stay here, to guide the next Humans, moved by his uncondicional love for every being involved on the music of the creation. And so they gain the rank of maia (As glorfindel did). The thing is, that these beings allready had their story. So now is our time, now we are the protagonists, and they do their job well enough if you never know about them, because as I said, they dont do it for fame or glory, they do it for love. So that being said, and without the intention of diminishing Jesus's prowesess, there are beings still with higher knowledge than him or with more success in his task than him. And I think that, because of the fact that they did their job without getting noticed. Something truly amazing if I may say.

    @@hanszickerman8051 That's your opinion based on the teachings about god being an entity placed outside yourself. Understandable and respectable. Mine nevertheles, is different. And is based on the belief about an understanding of god being some kind of source of creation, a counciousness that englobes all the creation itself and that is fragmented on many levels, one of them being the valar, then the maiar, the istari and all the beings of the creation. So in that belief, you and I are portions of that source. Its just that we are playing different parts of that creation, everyone with our different perspective of itself, but at the same time, an image of itself. The World of Tolkien has many types of readings. And yes, it was foremost based on the teachings you mention. But also can be understanded that way. As if the elves, humans and every different aspect of the creation, were the same Ainur that decided to play his particular rol in the Story. Deciding to momently forget his own origin to experience it to the fullest, something like the perfect actor that plays a rol. And being the istari, the ones who didnt forget and sometimes earned the knowledge needed to Remember (like glorfindel) due to his epic actions that granted them the returning to the middle earth directly from that place so close to the Source (Valinor), without the full restriction that meant the incarnation through other ways, just so they can guide the same music of creation without being the protagonists of that story that still today keeps going on. So yes, in that belief, Jesús was an image of that god, but also you and I, everyone in a different stage of conciousness. Something like a father and a child, who grows and learns not only about the world he lives on, but also about his own story and his own self, growing to develope what he potentialy was on another level in that world so far away from there. A story about the very bringing of that heaven light, to dark place. A story about reuniting the things once separated. A journey about leaving home, defeating of the shadow and coming back with new knowledge and understanding. The simile of the journey of frodo and Sam, who the same tolkien described as the smallest beings of the middle earth who made the biggest impact and even inspired gandalf itself. This very teaching, show us that theres greatness on the small things, and hollowness on the big (like morgoth or sauron), and that even both of these sides of the coin, are playing the same music guided by the same source of conciousness called Ilúvatar, even without knowing. To me, that has all the coherence in the World, but I respect you feel it on a different way.

    Think about the Balrog. What would they possibly encountered by digging deeper? Maybe the dwarves didn't disappear at all, but chose to isolate themselves for a reason known to them. Maybe a great Balrog like cataclysm killed them all. I don't think they dug because they were too greedy. Dwarves are crafters, so they need materials. It's in their blood, Aulë made them to be artisans. The dwarves couldn't live with themselves if they didn't honor Aulë by making things.

    Also that Cidran The Shipwright was waiting for Sam to come, because Sam too was a ring bearer, even if it was very brief. Hence, he has to go to the Gray Havens. Also, at the end of his life. King Eomer of Rohan wished to see the squire of Rohan once again, so Merry and Pippin travelled to Rohan. Afterwards, they moved to Gondor where they died and were buried. Aragorn finally grew old later and was buried alongside his friends. His son Aragorn 2 became the new king. Queen Arwen stayed there for sometimes after Aragon died and probably left middle earth later.

    All wouldn't have been possible if not for gollum. Gollums addiction to the one true ring was what ultimately defeated Sauron.

    Nah the dwarfs regained all their old kingdoms and nvr faded, the elves mostly gone still held lasting presence in one kingdom, Gondor entered in new age with Numenorian bloodline restored with Aragon and left over Rangers. The ents with forest safe again prospered and continued watching over forest remain as pure ents and slowly repopulated with what few wifes left. Yes ik this isn't canon but rather have this than the generic boring ending where all cool creatures and races disappearing.
