'''Rivendell''' is an area within the [[Trollshaws]], in the north-eastern region.

This area is in itself one of the largest Elven settlements in Middle-earth, and certainly one of the most renowned. 3,000 years ago, [[Elrond|Elrond Halfelven]] founded the Elven refuge within the Trollshaws, also known as '''Imladris''' {{Lang|Sindarin|Deep Valley of the Cleft}}. It lies nestled in the valley of the [[Bruinen]] river, which flows down the face of the [[Misty Mountains]] in the north-east, through the valley and southwestwards through a narrow cleft, impassable for both friend and foe. In the south a path winds itself up and through a rift in the mountains reaches [[High Moor]], and in the north a similar path leads north-east to the Misty Mountains past [[Imdolen]]. The few enemies who perhaps have a vague idea of where the mythical Rivendell is located would find it impossible to conquer the well trained elves who guard its two passages.

In October [[Third Age|3018 III]], [[Frodo Baggins]], [[Gandalf]], [[Aragorn#Aragorn (Bree-land)|Strider]], and their friends were rescued from the nine [[Nazgûl]] at [[the Ford of Bruinen]] by Elf-lord [[Glorfindel]] and many elves. They were rapidly brought to Elrond's house, Frodo being in serious need of healing, and the others to rest and eat. The four hobbits soon realized that they were in quite a pickle, entangled in adventures much larger and more dangerous than they could have guessed. Throughout the Epic storyline, Rivendell is an important hub for many events. Here supporters of the Free Peoples find shelter before they set out on diversions or adventures which will in one way or the other support the [[Company of the Ring]].

'''''Notice:''''' Some services are found within [[the Last Homely House]] but services and facilities are provided at locations throughout the valley. This page provides a summary but each location page list its details individually. Some of these locations are allowed to comprise a somewhat larger section than what is noticed at the in-game map, just to provide the better information about that section.<onlyinclude><includeonly>* [[Stable-master]]s, [[Milestone]], [[Auction House]], [[Barber]], [[Clerk of Kinships]], [[Notary]], [[Vault]], [[Hobby Master]], [[Outfitter]], [[Reflecting Pool]], [[Forge-master]], vendors
