I must confess, that's way ahead of my Middle Earth timeline. None of my stories take place more than a century after the War of the Ring. Also, I never considered whether or not Gimli might have fostered any illegitimate children. To the best of my knowledge, he was still a bachelor when he accompanied Legolas across the Great Sea to Valinor.

Another colorful pub in my stories is The Inn of the Raging Whore, a popular drinking establishment for the sailors of Umbar.
