The spirit of Glorfindel left toward the Halls of Mandos, where he briefly passed some time. He was re-embodied and continued to live in Valinor as a result of his heroic deeds that had saved many Elves during the Fall of Gondolin. Manwë brought him back to Middle-earth as an emissary of the Valar many years later, in SA 1600, and gave him abilities that were almost as powerful as those of the Maiar. Glorfindel might have spent some time in Lindon with other noble Elves, including Gil-galad, Círdan, and Elrond, a descendent of Tuor and Idril. But by the middle of the Third Age, he was living in Rivendell. Glorfindel changed the odds against the Witch-king of Angmar and his host in the Battle of Fornost. Glorfindel made the prediction that no mortal man would ever defeat the Witch-king after the battle was over and the Witch-king had run away. A millennium later, this prophecy came true when Éowyn of Rohan and the hobbit Meriadoc Brandybuck slew the Witch-king in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. In TA 3018, almost a millennium later, Lord Elrond dispatched Glorfindel to look for Frodo Baggins and his friends. It was he, who drove some of the Nazgûl from the Last Bridge by attacking them.
