| Dec 27, 2023 at 15:47 | comment | added | user169166 | Could you please for a brief moment consider that we don't in fact "get a p[l]otted history of the remainder of [Gimli's] life in Appendix III", but that Gimli lives on after that last testimonial of him for an unspecified period of time and that a lot of things might have happened after he was lost from recorded history. I don't deny that it is unlikely that Tolkien meant for Gimli to marry and have children, but I do deny that you know with the certainty expressed in your answer that he didn't. | |

| Dec 27, 2023 at 13:42 | comment | added | user169166 | There have been much more fundamental character changes in literature. | |
| Dec 27, 2023 at 13:28 | comment | added | Valorum | @Ben - Given how besotted he is with Galadriel, it's unlikely he'd have married anyone less attractive. And I don't think she's gonna marry him | |
| Dec 27, 2023 at 13:19 | comment | added | user169166 | We cannot conclude from the information we have (and which you have kindly repeated in your answer) that Gimli did not marry or have children after he went to Valinor. As far as I understand it is possible to marry and have children in Valinor. | |

| Dec 26, 2023 at 19:36 | comment | added | Valorum | @AdamArold - 5 well-formatted paragraphs is hardly a wall of text, and the fact that he left Middle-earth doesn't necessarily mean that he did or didn't have kids | |
| Dec 26, 2023 at 19:30 | comment | added | Adam Arold | For those who don't want to read the wall of text: No, Gimli left Middle Earth together with Legolas and sailed west, to Valinor. | |
