Okay, I'm planning on writing a fic from Denethor's POV *after* he's died. So, I was wondering. What happens to humans in ME when they die? (Forgive me if this sounds like s silly question!) Do they go to Mandos? Do they go anywhere?

Thanks a lot

PS: Also, just checking. If humans do go to Mandos, would Boromir have gone there too, or is there another place for heroes? (Cause he saved Marry and Pippin). Again, I apologise here and now if I sound thick asking this question.

Humans, unlike the elves, go to iluvatar upon their death.

If it's any help, mortals do spend some time in Mandos before they leave the Circles of Arda.

When Luthien died of grief and convinced Namo to give life back to Beren, his soul was still in the Halls of Waiting. (The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Luthien)

You could probably make a case for Boromir and Denethor meeting in Mandos.

Alright, thanks ghettoelleth and Haleth. I figured if I wrote the story without knowing where they would end up, I may as well say the following, as it would probably get the exact same kind of reaction. *smirks*

"And Denethor found himself suddenly de-flamed and standing in Tellytubby land. A rabbit then lolloped up and began nibbling on the hem of Denethor's robes. Looking up he saw Boromir running towards him with a wide grin and his arms outstretched. 'DAAAD!!" he called happily. Denethor ran towards his son, bouncing on the luminous green grass. 'My son!' he called happily back."


Uhm....yeah. I'm insane.

Thanks again.
