A legion of Elves was taken in by the light of Valinor in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power episode 1, thus raising questions about what happens to those who choose that fate. Only one character onboard the Elven vessel – Galadriel – had no interest in what the Undying Lands had to offer. Rather than follow her brethren into the light, Galadriel leaped from the boat to continue her pursuit of Sauron, whom she’s convinced is still a threat.The Undying Lands of Valinor are a key part of The Lord of the Rings lore, even though certain aspects of it have always been rather mysterious. At the end of The Lord of the Rings story, Valinor was the final destination for Bilbo, Frodo, and Gandalf who accompanied the Elves on a ship. In Tolkien’s world, Valinor is viewed as the endgame for all Elves, who seek to go there after they’ve finished with their affairs in Middle-earth. In The Rings of Power episode 1, a ship full of Elves passed directly into the light of Valinor, but exactly what happened to them after that wasn’t shown.
