Eitheldir is a landmark within the Angle of Mitheithel, in the Trollshaws. ^{[36.2S, 22.7W]}

The stronghold of Eitheldir, the Well-watch, was built above the crossings of the Hoarwell to keep safe the passage to Lindon during the Second Age. However, the keep itself was to be the site of a grievous defeat during the War of the Elves and Sauron, when the fearless captain Oranoril lured the armies of Sauron to the fortress, where she and her company met their deaths.

And yet Oranoril's sacrifice is not remembered as a defeat, as it was by her actions and those of her chosen warriors that many of the Eldar were able to flee to the newly-founded haven of Imladris, where they survived the depravities of Sauron, and regrouped for the counterattack that would eventually lead to his downfall for a time.
