The hidden valley refuge of Elrond Halfelven in the foothills of the Misty Mountains, founded in the Second Age during Sauron's destruction of Eregion, and preserved by the power of Vilya, mightiest of the Three Rings. Called Imladris in Sindarin and the Last Homely House East of the Sea, it has sheltered the heirs of Isildur, the shards of Narsil, and every weary traveller of goodwill — including Thorin's company and, later, Frodo, healed there of the Morgul-wound. The Council of Elrond met there, and from its door the Fellowship of the Ring set out.
An Elf of Rivendell named in Book II, remembered for his remark that it is not easy for the Elves to tell the difference between two mortals.
Chief counselor of Elrond in Rivendell. At the Council of Elrond he proposed sending for Tom Bombadil and giving him the Ring, an idea Gandalf turned aside: Bombadil would not understand the need to keep it.
