mandos

Per the title, what are they actually like, if you "lived" there? Like, are they akin to Dwarven Halls? Or just the ones the Dwarves go to?

Friends, I am very obsessed with this subject. Please let the most knowledgeable people explain. I have opened similar topics before. But now let's finish this problem with the most supportive articles and resources. Can Turin's killing of Melkor in Dagor Dagorath and his killing ancalagon in...

What Did Feanor Do When He Arrived In The Halls Of Mandos? Any Ideas? Also Where did The Men Go After They Died? And Where The Elves sit in The Halls?

I recently re-read the Silmarillion, and I came to wonder what Mandos had been doing in the first years of Middle Earth. I mean, of what good good was a god of death in a land full of peaceful immortals? He must have been pretty bored, hanging out with the random female spirit who died from...

Hey all I keep reading in the Silmarillion and a bunch of the other books in the History of Middle Earth of Mandos' prophesies, and I believe there were 7(? maybe more or less). Does anyone know what they actually were? I think one was that Morgoth would, near the end of time like break out of...

The Doom of Mandos The Curse of Morgoth Which was the most effective? That is which was most fully complete in its intent, The Doom of Mandos or The Curse of Morgoth.

How does Mandos summon the Quendi? Does he visit each spritit after it departs from the body? Does he speak via thought to them?

I was going to post this in The Guild of Ost-in-Edhil, but I feel it is better suited to this section; Many would question Tulkas and Ulmo for not speaking their misgivings about Melkor prior to his release from captivity, yet none question the silence of Mandos. I would contend that if...

Would Túrin really return from the dead and kill Morgoth? This prophecy has long roots. From The Book of Lost Tales II: Turambar and the Foalókë Then it changed again in the Sketch of the Mythology or 'earliest Silmarillion'. From The Shaping of Middle-Earth: The Earliest Silmarillion Now...

‘The Curse of Mandos’- From the Excellent Policy to a Downfall Lecture ¹ 1 The Long Road of Anger to a Curse Lead by common sense and numerous ruins, nowadays people can easily claim that human’s progress is due to desires and temptations. Advancement, beauty and fortune seems to be the...

Ah me! How to pass the time? - the Halls of Mandos are a weary, dreary place. Spent the first 500 years playing a rather silly game called 'Find Feanor' - couldn't find him, he's seems very reluctant to show his face. (wonder why?) Curse that fool Thingol for inventing such a stupid game anyway...
