Quick Links Mortals' Bodies Were Affected By the Undying Lands Frodo Was an Honored Guest in the Undying Lands

At the end of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Frodo Baggins departed for the Undying Lands, where he could recover from the physical and mental damage that he sustained on his quest to destroy the One Ring. Mortals were usually not allowed there, but Frodo received special permission as a reward for his service as the Ring-bearer. Before he left Middle-earth, he bid a teary goodbye to Samwise Gamgee, who had been his constant companion. But this might not have been the last time that they saw each other. Though the films did not mention it, J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings novel revealed that Sam eventually went to the Undying Lands as well, for he had briefly carried the One Ring.
