Rivendell

Travellers coming from the High Pass or travelling east to cross it might find themselves marching across a high moor, where the wind hisses through the heather. The vast slope climbing towards the mountains is broken by many narrow ravines and gullies, filled with trees or resounding with the crash of falling waters. If they know their way, or if they are lucky enough, sooner or later they will stumble upon a path marked with white stones, leading to the edge of a steep fall. Over the edge and far below lies a fair valley, cloven by a swift-running river rushing in a rocky bed. A twisting flight of steps first meanders among tall pine trees, then descends among oaks and beech trees, until it reaches the brink of the river, where a narrow bridge of stone leads to the “Last Homely House east of the Sea”.
