Where do the Elves sail to? Why do they leave Middle-earth? - Aman, the Undying Lands - LotR Lore

The Elves leaving Middle-earth is a topic, that goes through all of #LotR and its #Lore and we all know the final (ending) scene of the ship sailing into the sunset (from Mithlond or the Grey Havens), but where exactly do they go? And why do the elves need to leave Middle-earth? What is on the other side of the ocean? Some of you will know: the west continent Aman, the Undying Lands also called the Blessed Realm. But what is on that continent and why is it so special?

I try to answer all this and explore the lore of #Tolkien detail - as always.

- Had some sound problems
- Saying Valar and Maiar with the stress on the first syllable is really difficult for me
