Founded as a refuge during the War of the Elves and Sauron, Rivendell would come to be one of the greatest cities in Middle-earth. Imladris would not only outlast two sieges over the years, but also become famous for its tranquility, resistance to evil, and the wisdom of Lord Elrond.

I remember when one of this channel's first videos, "The Religion of the Dwarves" was in my feed when this channel first started, after watching that video I instantly subscribed and I'll have to say that it is truly amazing how quickly this channel's subscribers have increased over that time thanks to the high quality of the videos and I'm sure a little bit of luck from that enigmatic KZfaq algorithm.... Personally, I think one of the best features of the videos is the use of maps and showing where each person and event is and their movements in chronological order, this is EXTREMELY helpful in understanding the events, especially of the first age since the place names and geography/cartography are not as imprinted in the mind as those of the Third and Second age.

For the elves, 100 years isn't a long time. Their standard calendar unit was the "yén", which would be equal to 144 sun years. When Aragorn tells his companions about the history of the Rohirrim and that 500 years have passed since King Brego build the golden hall of Meduseld, Legolas remarks that 500 years are a rather short amount of time in the eyes of the elves. When he listens to the very old trees in the Fangorn forest, he says that "I feel young again for the first time since I have been travelling with you adolescents [Aragorn and Gimli]." (For reference: Aragorn is 88 years old at this point and Gimli is 140 years old.)

Is Rivendell a "dimension/pocket" where the time and space are different from the other places of Middle Earth? Like Lórien where the time flow differently from other ambients? "Anyone would think that time did not count there. And perhaps that was the way of it (...) in that land, maybe, we were in a time that has elsewhere long gone by."
@untruelie2640
@untruelie2640 2 жыл бұрын
It seems that the memory of the Elder Days (the First Age) was preserved in Rivendell, while in Lórien, the Elder Days themselves still continued. At least this was what Frodo thought about it. However, Bilbo remarked to him that he always got confused with the time/calendar while being in Rivendell, so it might be that there was a similar, but weaker form of the "Lórien effect". (Which would make sense, because Galadriel was more powerful than Elrond). I think Tolkien once wrote somewhere that in terms of power, she was second only to Feanor among the children of Illúvatar.

@JasonBGrant

​@@untruelie2640 Yes, the different time streams in Rivendell (memory of Elder Days) and Lórien (reality of Elder Days) are due to the presence of two of the Elven Rings and their Keepers: Vilya with Elrond in Rivendell, Nenya with Galadriel in Lórien. That the Elder Days are experienced differently in each Elven refuge is probably due to the attributes of each respective Keeper and possibly the differing properties of each Ring. The Elder Days may linger only as memory in Rivendell because Elrond, while mighty among the Half-Elven and heir to Gil-Galad, was born in Middle-earth, not Valinor, and had never himself seen the light of the Trees. The Elder Days may be more of a reality in Lórien because Galadriel was the most powerful of the Noldor remaining in Middle-earth, born in Valinor during the Years of the Trees and surpassed in power (if not wisdom) only by her uncle Fëanor.

I think that a bit of Rivendell has seeped into all of us. 15yrs ago, I was asked by the son of a much loved landowner to forge a memorial for his father, he said that the shape had "Just popped in to his head". when I looked at the drawings it looked strangely familiar and while I worked on it I realised that I had seen it as a reading table in Rivendell. It stands in the woods that the old man had planted with a slate plaque on the top and visitors do not seem to be able to pass without stopping.

Ah, the beauty and sadness of Rivendell. Beautifully portrayed, and like many here have commented, it is the sort of place that is sorely missing from our world. We do have a few places that evoke Imladris, such as parts of Switzerland, Bhutan, and possibly a few areas of the Canadian Rockies. We can go to these places and imagine what it could have been like to have existed in a fantasy world such as Middle Earth. Great video, thank you and happy new year.
