OKAY. WELL. We usually compare their relationship to the titanic. A high class elf, daughter of Thranduil, expected to marry an elf(Elros) and an elf only, but then she meets this poor low class dwarf, who’s her father despises and sees him as a big that needed to be squished quickly. And then he takes her to a dwarvish party, teaches her how to spit ect… and then there’s songs that matches them Like “Tale as old as Time” because I mean just…

Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends

Neither one prepared

"Whatare’ya talkin about? I didn’t steal anythin."

He kept it in the dark for as long as he could. The darkness that corrupted him. The maddess that grew inside of his mind. The young dwarf thought it was the Durin sickness. He though it had gotten stronger and made its way to his side of the Durin line. It seemed like it got worse and worse the closer they got to Erebor. To the gold, to the Arkenstone. But it wasn’t that. It was the evil that grew on its own. A dangerous and devious evil. 

When arriving at Beorns hour it seemed like he was just about to snap but still kept it secret and only to himself. When night time approached, and all were asleep, Ori got up slowly, shakily as he stumbled towards the bathroom. Walking in, he looked up at the mirror. Boy was it high. Jumping up onto the toilet seat, Ori climbed onto the sink that way and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked pale. Not much, just paler than usual. “What’s happening to me?” He asked himself. He stood there for a moment, taking in deep breaths as he felt his mind slipping away from him. Right when he was about to get down and go try and sleep, blackness filled his eyes. Covered them like a sheet across a bed. 

The cry of help, stuck the dwarfs heart and he rushed in. Skidding to a stop inside the room, he looked around. Nothing? Nori rose a hand scratching his head, but soon looked up and surprise hit him all at once. 

"Ori......?" Nori spoke out to him waking in a little further. "Ori are you..." He stopped, reaching out his hand slowly when seeing the blackness of his eyes. "Ori.. Your eyes!"

NAME(s) Rivendell Riven = (literary adjective) torn apart, split [word origin: from Old Norse rīfa; related to Old Frisian rīva] Dell = (noun) a small, esp. wooded hollow [word origin: Old English; related to Middle Low German delle valley] Imladris Sindarin name, meaning “deep valley of the cleft” Karningul Translation of “imladris” in Westron Last Homely House East of the Sea The Last Homely House west of the Mountains GEOGRAPHY Rivendell is located at the edge of the gorge of the southern arm of the Bruinen River, in eastern Eriador. Near Rivendell there’s the only known ford of the river. It adjoin the Misty Mountain in the east, the hills of Rhudaur in the west, the region of the Coldfells in the north and the south-east part of Eregion in the south. The climate is cool-temperate and semi-continental with moderately warm summers, fairly snowy — but not frigid — winters and moderate precipitation. Seasons are more pronounced than in areas further west, such as the Shire, but less extreme than the places east of the Misty Mountains. Like Hobbiton, it is located at about the same latitude as Tolkien’s hometown Oxford. It seems that for Rivendell, Tolkien was inspired by the area of Lauterbrunnen, in Switzerland: "I am… delighted that you have made the acquaintance of Switzerland, and of the very part that I once knew best and which had the deepest effect on me. The hobbit’s journey from Rivendell to the other side of the Misty Mountains, including the glissade down the slithering stones into the pine woods, is based on my adventures in 1911… Our wanderings mainly on foot in a party of 12 are not now clear in sequence, but leave many vivid pictures as clear as yesterday.". Talking about the movie, the selected location for Rivendell was in the Kaitoke Regional Park, Upper Hutt, NZ (some details were added with CGI). HISTORY Foundation & Second Age (SA) The foundation of Rivendell took place in the 1697 SA (4000/5000 years before LotR events) during the War of Elves and Sauron. Two years before (1695 SA), the enemy invaded Eriador and an elven force led by Elrond rescued the refugees of Eregion (chiefly Noldorin). These forces were driven into the hills of Rhudaur and retreated in the gorge of Imladris. The Numenoreans’ aid for the elves was delayed and so began the First Siege of Imladris. Sauron didn’t really focus on this frontline, thinking Gil-Galad had the three Elven rings, but he sent a small force to lay seige to prevent Elrond from attacking his rear for three years. The succesful defeated happened after the weakening of Sauron forces at the Battle of Gwathlo: the little army left to besiege Imladris was caught between Elrond and Gil-galand who crushed them definitively. After the end of the siege, a Council decided that Imladris should become the new elvish stronghold in Eriador, since Eregion was devastated. Then Gil-galad bestowed Vilya on Elrond. Third Age (TA) Around between year 1356 TA to 1409 TA took place the Second Siege of Imladris. It was one of the events during the war between Arnor and the witch-kingdom of Angmar, during the late reign of Arveleg I. The elves of Rivendell, helped by Lothlorien forces, subdued the army of Angmar for some time and at some point they broke the siege. In the end, in TA, Rivendell become a refuge. There came the Hight Elves of Eriador, the heirs of Isildur were harbored in Imladris and many treasured of the house of Isildur (including Narsil) were brought there. Elrond himself said that Rivendell is a place of peace and learning, not a stronghold of battle. Lastly the 25 October, TA 3018, the Council of Elrond took place in Imladris. During the council, the fate of the One Ring was discussed by delegates of all the kind of Middle-earth: elves, dwarves, hobbits, man, plus Gandalf, an Istari. At the end of the discussion, the Fellowship of the Ring was born, though the question about its members had been discussed for some months after the council. Fourth Age (FA) In the FA Elrond left Middle Earth and it was his ring that made Rivendell amazing and particular, but we know that it remained (slightly) populated with Elladan and Elrohir, Elrond’s sons, Celeborn and some high elves.

WHO LIVED IN RIVENDELL Elrond, Lord of Rivendell Arwen, daughter of Elrond Elrohir, son of Elrond Elladan, son of Elrond Erestor, chief of the House of Elrond Glorfindel, Elf lord Bilbo Baggins, the first Ring-bearer
