"Gimli joined the Fellowship of the Rings during the Council of Elrond where he was selected
to represent the Dwarves. After some discussions he was finally allowed to enter Lothlorien and meet the Lady Galadriel and
Celeborn. He developped a great love for the Lady Galadriel and when she asked him what he wanted as a farewell gift he asked
and received a single strand of her hair. Gimli joined Aragorn and Legolas in their pursuit of Merry and Pippin through Rohan
and he played a very important part in the defence of Helm's Deep. He also joined Aragorn when he walked the Paths of the
Dead and defeated the Corsairs. Strangly enough he became best friends with Legolas, an elf. A very unusal friendship. After
the War of the Ring, Legolas and Gimli travelled together to many places in Middle-Earth and it is said that they eventually
left middle-earth together. "
