Timeless Halls

A rare name for the Halls of Mandos, in the West beyond the Great Sea, where the spirits of Elves and Men (and perhaps Dwarves) went to dwell for a time before they passed on to their fate. For most Elves, that fate entailed becoming re-embodied and returning to life, while Men began a journey of unknown destination beyond Aman and Valinor. The fate of the Dwarves is less certain, but they themselves held that there was a place set aside for them in the Timeless Halls, in which they would wait to play their role in the remaking of Arda.
