<P> After the destruction of the One Ring, Legolas remained in Minas Tirith for Aragorn's crowning and marriage to Arwen . Later, Legolas and Gimli travelled together through Fangorn forest and to the Glittering Caves of Helm's Deep, as Legolas had promised Gimli . Eventually, Legolas founded an Elf - colony in Ithilien and spent his remaining time helping to restore the devastated forests there . It was told in the Red Book of Westmarch (first written by Bilbo Baggins, continued by Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee and finally passed down through the Gamgee family), that after Aragorn's death in the year 120 of the Fourth Age, Legolas built a grey ship and left Middle - earth to go over the Sea to Valinor, and that Gimli went with him . </P> <P> Tolkien first describes Legolas in The Fellowship of the Ring as "a strange Elf, clad in green and brown". </P> <P> As part of the Fellowship of the Ring, Legolas is armed with a bow and arrows and one "long white knife" which hangs by his side . When the fellowship attempts to cross Caradhras, Legolas alone remains light - hearted . He is little affected by the blowing winds and snow . He does not even wear boots, only light shoes, and his feet scarcely make imprints on the snow . </P> <P> As Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli chase after Merry and Pippin in The Two Towers, Legolas is the only one of the three who does not tire from days of constant running, and does not sleep when Aragorn and Gimli have to stop for a night . When the Company journey through the Paths of the Dead, all are chilled by the murmurs and whispers of the dead save Legolas, who states, "the shades of Men hold no terror for Elves". Legolas can see and hear at great distance, attributes referred to throughout the story . He is also lithe and slender, with bright, keen eyes and ears, and is fair of face, as all Elves are . He is an unrivalled archer and Gandalf calls him a dangerous warrior . His keen eyes, ears and fighting skills are of immense use to the fellowship, but his friendship and loyalty to Aragorn, Gimli and Frodo make him an even more important member . </P>
