I think there are several references in LOTR about various individuals who have died and gone to the "halls of their fathers" or something along those lines
Well, if their fathers went to the Timeless Halls, the Halls would become known as the 'halls of their fathers.' But perhaps that's what you meant. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
A bit of an aside here, since the Rohirrim were much like the Scandinavian peoples, would they believe in something like a Valhalla? Maybe that would be their perception of the Timeless Halls, since men of that time were not wholly 'in tune' with the goings on of the afterlife, at least, as it pertains to Valinor. Just blind speculation on my part. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
