A group of people stand on the bank of the Regents Canal, Paddington Arm in London. They are behind a locked gate looking down below to a packed passenger longboat passing beneath them. It is an unusual craft: Charon the underworld boatman is steering, and taking his charges on their final journey as the leaves fall around them. Mithlond is the fairy port in Lord of the Rings from where Bilbo took his final journey to eternity.
