Where do Men, Dwarves or Elves go, when they die or are slain? I'll try to explore the LotR Lore of death and afterlife in Tolkien's works. Answering this question in-detail is quite difficult and requires to answer a lot of other questions first. Who is Mandos? What books are canon? Why do Elves leave Middle-earth? And what happens if they don't? What is the Gift of Men? How immortal are elves? What happens when Gandalf dies? What happens to orcs after they die or even Sauron? A lot of questions, you'll find some answers in this video.
This video is also part of my answering lore questions from the comments series.
A main source for this video is the book Morgoth's Ring (1993), which expands and modifies Tolkien's lore in different ways, which leads in cases to contradictions to he source material. So consider this also at places to be my interpretation.
