10"They are willing to go at least to the passes of the Mountains, and maybe beyond." - the guys had to go that way, even if they decided to go home later on.– MithoronCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 16:52

One issue was that mighty elves would attract attention. For a secret mission a great fighter is less useful than a great scout/infiltrator.– AndrewCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 16:54

@Mithoron Did Gimli not come from the Blue Mountains, which are westward to Rivendell?– TriceratopsCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 17:19

3@Triceratops Gimli came from the Lonely Mountain.– BuzzCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 17:29

5@Triceratops Yes, of course. All the surviving members of Thorin and Company lived at Erebor (although some subsequently left—to Moria, for example), and Gloin must have sent for his family to join him. In any case, we know Gimli and Gloin had come directly to Rivendell from the Lonely Mountain, since they were bringing news from there, of the messengers that Sauron had sent to Dain.– BuzzCommented Dec 29, 2023 at 18:02

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
