A/N: My knowledge on Menegroth and Nargothrond, especially Nargothrond, is pretty vague, so forgive me if I've written a few inaccurate details. Each chapter has a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien about his philosophy on fantasy and daydreaming your own fantasies to escape the poisoned real world in your heart and mind.

Here's an in-depth Lord of the Rings timeline. Sep 02, 2019 This is a WIP project for Imperator Rome called Lord of the Rings: Realms in Exile. There are exciting changes on the way to this LOTR mod overhaul that takes place in 1,300, right in the middle.

'Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!'

- J.R.R. Tolkien

Elven Realms

by Legolas

Here, I, Legolas son of Thranduil, Dwarf-friend, recount in brief detail what has made the realms of the Elves so individual and personal to each person who wishes to dwell in one of them. An Elven realm's individuality comes from what a resident or visitor gets out of living in or visiting it, what he/she values most in beauty, comfort, and relationships with others. It is my hope that in the Age of the Dominion of Men, as many men and women as possible may learn how to escape the tribulations and future evils of the world, by remembering what we Elves made to live within in Middle-earth, and meditating or daydreaming on their natural beauties rather than complaining and bending under the corruptions started by Morgoth and Sauron.

How Many Realms In Lord Of The Rings Game

Eregion

This is an ancient home of the Elves of the Second Age. It was a beautiful place with many natural forests, green grass, stones and boulders, and numerous lovely cities and specific regions, including Eregion's Elven capital, Ost-in-Edhil, near the West-gate of Khazad-dûm, but perhaps what made it so individual were its relationship with Khazad-dûm, or Moria, as we know it now, and the main vocation of the Elves who dwelt there. Celeborn and Galadriel, and later Celebrimbor, used their time to contribute to the Creation of Eru, sub-creating things of lasting beauty and value, and they had an unusual friendship with the Dwarves of Khazad-dûm, trading valuable goods with each other, and contributing to making life thrive as well as their works thrive. Eregion had many workshops within its cities, and even some special landmarks made specially for making and storing their valuables, and it was inhabited and run by the craftsmen of the Gwaith-i-Mírdain. One might say that it's personality was that of a realm where friendships were strong, things of beauty were made or forged, and Creation was valued above everything else. Making things was its pride and joy. It is my hope that, what with my friendship with Gimli, the remaining Elves in Middle-earth can befriend the Dwarves of Erebor and Aglarond like those ancient Elves and Dwarves did. Anyone who values friendship and partnership, and wants to improve on Creation without spoiling it, would want to dwell in Eregion if it still existed.

Gondolin

This was the realm of Turgon, a Noldor Elf Lord and son of the courageous Fingolfin, and for a time, his sister Aredhel lived there, too. It was a hidden realm that lasted longer than any other Elf realm in Beleriand did, though even it was lost in the end, due to the treachery of Maeglin, Aredhel's son. Gondolin was a sort of fortress-city, built to withstand very powerful attacks, and the Noldor who dwelt within it lived out their lives mostly in peace and quiet. Turgon was also known for forging many swords there that would see great deeds in the future, including his own sword, Glamdring, Orcrist, and the dagger that would later become Sting. As a clandestine city built like a fortress, with its magnificent palaces and towers and smiths, Gondolin is perhaps the most militant of the Elf realms, and a person who loves a well-protected city would feel at home there any day.

Nargothrond and Menegroth

They are perhaps the most fortified of all Elven homes, both having originally been built by Dwarves. But that does not mean that they are Dwarf realms, though Nargothrond once was one. Nargothrond was a stronghold where a massive treasure was kept, until the Dragon Glaurung laid waste to it, and Menegroth was a thousand caves underground in the forest of Doriath decorated with natural plants and murals unmatched in Middle-earth. Like Gondolin and Eregion, both are gone now, but they are remembered as places where Elves lived with strong protection from evil, so perhaps someone who likes protection from violent elements would like it best there.

Rivendell

Imladris, or Rivendell, is one of the most celebrated of lasting Elven homes, and for good reason. It has wondrous architecture, like carvings of legendary figures and tapestries of the histories of Elves and Men, soothing water runs freely through the valley in the form of waterfalls and a river, and there is the House of Elrond, the Last Homely House East of the Sea, with an elegant structure, peaceful parlors and bedrooms, and a Grand Hall for special banquets. The atmosphere is so peaceful, and it feels like a domestic house, too, meaning that one can speak, sing, eat, drink, read, study, or just relax and think in complete peace and contentment. And residents and visitors alike can enjoy real beds in bedrooms instead of sleeping in the wild. Evil things do not come into that valley, making Rivendell one of the safest places to be in Middle-earth. People who love beautiful and elegant houses with peace and tranquility, and safety from evil, will adore it in this magical place.

Mirkwood (Greenwood)

On the surface, this forest may not seem like a very welcoming place, but you just have to know where to look. The forest has fallen into a state of decay ever since the secret return of Sauron and the construction of Dol Guldur, but the Wood-elves (my own people) who live here have found spots where we have cleansed of the evil things that infested them, and here we enjoy festive feasts and singing. We also sample the finest wine from Dorwinion and some tasty cheeses from Lake-town, and my father, the Elven-king, is a hunter who never misses his prey. The forest glades are the best places for our feasts and sampling of wines and cheeses besides the Elven-king's palace. Those who like the thrill of the hunt, or who enjoy wholesome feasts and good wine and cheese, will love it here, a realm of excitement and festivities with a benevolent ruler.

Lothlórien

This is the other safest Elven realm that still exists in Middle-earth, and it gladdens my heart that it still has not entirely faded in beauty. It has the tallest trees in Middle-earth, the mallorn trees, where many flets can be found as homes for the Elves. Like Rivendell, it too is guarded by some sort of magic that prevents evil things from coming in, though it is also protected by Elven archers who are clad in grey cloaks that conceal them in almost any location in the known world. Based on what I felt while I was there, particularly when spending time alone with Gimli, I will say this; if Rivendell is a realm of very practical beauty and comfort, then Lothlórien is a much more spiritual realm, with less conveniences and no indoors rooms, but greater and purer elegance and light, as well as a stronger connection to nature. A seeker of the light of Elbereth or Eärendil will find all the nourishment he/she wants in the Golden Wood.

Ithilien

Lord Of The Rings Movies

Ithilien is a fair country in Eastern Gondor with climbing woods and swift-falling streams. A wealth of sweet-smelling herbs and shrubs as well as many tree species can be found in the forests, and there is still a disheveled loveliness about the place. It is shielded from the East by the Ephel Dúath, and from the North by the Emyn Muil, open to the Southern airs and the moist winds of the Sea. It is also a place where I feel very much at home, more so than in Mirkwood, even. I love the feel of the winds of the Sea, though they do nothing for my longing to sail over the Sea, and the woods and streams are handsomer and cleaner than in Mirkwood, which is still in need of some cleansing. And the trees! They match those of the Greenwood in loveliness. It is a wondrous place for one who, like me, wishes for the best of two worlds, the wood and the Sea, and I love the Wood-elven colony I have set up here.
