Gimli is a dwarf of Durin's line, son of the same GlGimli is a dwarf of Durin's line, son of the same Glóin who was part of Thorin Oakenshield's company on the expedition to Erebor. Born in Third Age 2879 in the dwarf-mansions of the Ered Luin, he was sixty-two when he moved to Erebor in 2941. In 3018, at the age of one hundred thirty-nine, he travelled to Imladris (Rivendell) with his father and was chosen to represent the Dwarves in the Fellowship of the Ring.

After escaping from the ruins of Khazad-Dûm (Moria), Gimli was the first dwarf to enter Lórien since the fall of Khazad-Dûm more than a thousand years before. There he fell in love with the beauty of Galadriel, and when offered any gift he could name, he asked only for a strand of her golden hair, which he intended to lock into a jewel.

During the War of the Ring, he became a close friend of the elf Legolas. He travelled to Rohan with Aragorn and Legolas, and fought beside them at the battle of the Hornburg, where he first saw the Glittering Caves of Aglarond. He then followed Aragorn through the Paths of the Dead into Gondor, where he fought beside Legolas at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and before the Gates of the Morannon.

After the war, Gimli brought a group of his kin to the Aglarond, which Éomer had given to him, and became the Lord of the Glittering Caves. Among the many wondrous things forged there were the jewel containing the strand of Galadriel's hair, and the new gates of Minas Tirith, forged from mithril and steel.

After the death of King Elessar (Aragorn) in Fourth Age 120, Gimli left Middle-Earth behind and with his friend Legolas beside him, became the first dwarf to sail over the sea to Aman. He was two hundred sixty-one years old at the time.

At the time of the War of the Ring, Gimli is a mature dwarf, short in stature, but broad and powerful. His long red beard fell to his waist and he habitually wore a shirt of dwarven chainmail under his cloak.

Help. This inspired me to take a little trip to imdb.

In the process, I introduced two people to its seductive labyrinthine lair (one by phone, no less).

Which way is out?

Re:

the only way out of imdb.... is a power outage, or perhaps a rousing game of bejeweled.

Bejeweled? Which one was that? I've gotten lost in so many of your games...
