The Lord of the Rings has one of my more complex lores of fandom, which makes J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth canon easy to misunderstand.
The Lord of the Rings is one of the most beloved fandoms of all time, but there are several aspects of its canon that even die-hard fans often get wrong. This has a lot to do with the complex and often flexible lore developed by author J.R.R. Tolkien and the changes made by screen adaptations.
9 People Don't Live Forever In The Undying Lands The name 'Undying Lands' is clearly misleading and is assumedly responsible for the common belief that anyone who travels there would never die. However, when Frodo and Bilbo traveled to the Undying Lands in Lord of the Rings , they all would have still eventually died.
7 The Undying Lands Aren't In The Same Dimension As Middle-Earth Though Lord of the Rings and The Rings of Power make Valinoor look like it is only a ship ride away, traveling there from Middle-earth is no simple task. This is because the two lands exist in separate pocket dimensions. It wasn't always, but since the beings of Middle-earth kept trying to make trouble with the Valar, they decided to make their home a little less accessible.
5 Elves Don’t Necessarily Have Pointy Ears In Middle-Earth Many Lord of the Rings fans would consider pointed ears to be a must for the Elves of Middle-earth. However, there is never an instance in the books where Tolkien described them this way. They were often said to be beautiful, light on their feet, and graceful—but their ears were never part of the conversation. Still, this feature might have been assumed since elves have long been associated with pointed ears.
