At that time, Círdan would abandon the Grey Havens and finally travel the Straight Road himself. On some unknown date, he sailed west aboard the Last Ship with his mighty kinsman Celeborn, but when he did so, he took with him the last living memory of the Elder Days in Middle-earth.
Sindar. Those of the Teleri who reached Beleriand by the Great Sea but chose not to cross to Valinor were later called the Sindar (Grey Elves). They stayed in the west of Middle-earth and were ruled by Thingol.
Q: Do All Elves Leave Middle-earth? ANSWER: No, according to J.R.R. Tolkien, some Elves [mostly (if not entirely all) East-elves (Wood-elves)] remain in Middle-earth.
So, 40,000 elves leave the building after the destruction of the Ring. It's implied that most leave through the Grey Havens, though it's quite clear that at least one (Legolas) took a different route, building a ship in Ithilien in F.A. 120.
There were still plenty of Elves after the parting of the Ringbearers. Legolas stayed in Middle-earth for at least another 120 years, for example, and Thranduil, if he ever sailed west, stayed even longer. Celeborn stayed for a while in Lórien before leaving to Rivendell, where the sons of Elrond still lived.
The last named elf left alive was Arwen, but she died of grief after Aragorn's passing. Legolas is another possibility, as he left with Gimli AFTER Aragorn died, but probably not after Arwen died……
After the death of King Elessar, Legolas made a ship in Ithilien, and through Anduin, he left Middle-earth to go over the sea. His strong friendship with Gimli prompted him to invite Gimli to go to the Undying Lands; making him the first and only Dwarf to do so.
Aragorn is not half Elf, although he is a descendant of Elros, who is half Elf (and the brother of Elrond, the half-Elf who raised him), which explains why Aragorn's life span is unusually long.
Elrond confronts Aragorn in The Return of the King and says that Arwen is dying, her fate tied to the Ring. Arwen isn't necessarily dying because of the Ring, but now that she is mortal, she is dying through the slow decaying of time.
The Elves felt compelled to leave Middle-earth because the Valar (deities of Tolkien's world) were spiritually summoning them to their ultimate destinies. The Valar saw the Elves as a race above the others, and thought that they would fare better if they lived in the Blessed Realm (also known as Aman) with the Valar.
Elves, at least the Eldar, have a pregnancy that lasts about a year. By the age of 1, Elves can speak, walk and dance. Puberty and full height are attained at around their fiftieth to one hundredth year, when they stop aging physically.
Two years later, Gandalf departs Middle-earth forever. He boards the Ringbearers' ship in the Grey Havens and sets sail to return across the sea to the Undying Lands; with him are Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond, and his horse Shadowfax.
They were also joined by Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, Hobbits who were among the very few mortal beings to be allowed passage to the Undying Lands. Eventually, Samwise Gamgee, another Hobbit of the Shire, and the Dwarf Gimli along with his good friend Legolas, are also said to have made the journey.
The Birth of an Elf Is Rare in Middle-earth
And it's exactly that: a choice. Unlike other races of Middle-earth, casual intercourse was not enough to conceive a child because, for Elves, it was a far more conscious effort that required, as Tolkien put it, a "share and strength of their being, in mind and in body."
The oldest Elf in J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, as mentioned in "The Lord of the Rings," is Círdan the Shipwright. Círdan is an Elf of the Teleri clan, one of the three main branches of Elves, and he is known for his skill in shipbuilding and navigation.
In Middle-earth, half-elves are the children of Elves and Men, and can choose either Elvish immortality or the mortal life of Men. The elf-maidens Lúthien and Arwen in Tolkien's works both chose mortality to be with the Men that they loved.
The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, an appendix to the main story, relates that Aragorn and Arwen had a son, Eldarion, and at least two unnamed daughters. One year after Aragorn's death, Arwen dies at the age of 2,901.
Aragorn led the forces of the Reunited Kingdom on military campaigns against some Easterlings and Haradrim, re-establishing rule over much territory that Gondor had lost in previous centuries. He died at the age of 210, after 122 years as king.
Aman was known somewhat misleadingly as "the Undying Lands", but the land itself does not cause mortals to live forever. However, only immortal beings were generally allowed to reside there.
I think most of the objections have been against Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova), who is the Black elf. He's one of the immortal elves of Tolkien's legendarium. The legendarium is, broadly speaking, the lore behind the universe explored in Tolkien's books.
Legolas is a Sindarin Elf from the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood. His father, Thranduil, is the King of the Silvan Elves living in that realm, making Legolas the Prince of Mirkwood.
Aragorn and Boromir, unrelated by blood but united in their love of Gondor, were the only two men who set out with the Company from Rivendell.
Does Sam ever see Frodo again? Yes, Sam eventually gets to visit Frodo again in the Undying Lands after the destruction of the One Ring. Sam is among the Fellowship of the Ring members who set sail from the Grey Havens to the Undying Lands, along with Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, Elrond and Gandalf.
Myth: Gimli is the last dwarf.
Though Gimli has no children, he is not the last Dwarf of Middle-earth. After the fall of Sauron, his people continued to thrive in the Lonely Mountain. Gimli made his home in Rohan, in the Glittering Caves of Aglarond, and many of his kinsfolk came with him.
Legolas and Gimli's relationship is strong in The Lord of the Rings, even though it wasn't explicitly romantic in Tolkien's source material. The members of the Fellowship in The Lord of the Rings forge an unbreakable bond while on their mission to destroy the One Ring.
