As sturdy in spirit as he is in stature, Gimli the Dwarf is a formidable warrior. After the breaking of the Fellowship and the scattering of its members, Gimli develops a strong and unlikely friendship with Legolas the Elf and the Man, Aragorn. Despite the estrangement of their kinds, the warriors share a deep admiration and respect for each other born of their time together upon the quest. The greatest testimony of this bond will come when the three undertake the test together that will prove Aragorn's true quality and, side by side, trod the Paths of the Dead.
