The holy land of Valinor was rich in happiness and health, over which Melkor cast a shadow of darkness. Valinor’s history begins with these two trees that Melkor destroyed and extinguished the true light of Valinor. The heart of Valinor, or the Undying Land, were two ancient trees that were destroyed by Melkor, or Morgoth. Valinor, known as the Land of the Valar, was located on the continent of Aman, far across the sea from Middle Earth. In the series “The Rings of Power,” the Orcs, the army of Sauron, take over some villages in the Southlands, where Galadriel wants to reach to extinguish the dark lord. Mordor is a volcanic land located near Mount Doom. Mordor is a name we have heard before in the “Lord of The Rings Trilogy,” where Sauron’s ring was destroyed. The small villages where the Men reside, in the interior of the Southlands or west-central Mordor, are mentioned to bear the importance of the story. Mordor, or the Southland, was Sauron’s realm, stretching from southwestern Middle Earth to eastern Gondor. The name Southlands is a non-canonical name in the series, used as an alternate name for Mordor. In this timeline of the series, where Galadriel is still young, Celebrimbor is already ruling Eregion and is about to ally with the Dwarven kingdom in preparation for building a tower. Eregion was destroyed in Sauron’s war with the Elves. Celebrimbor here worked with Annatar to forge the 9 rings of great value but working on the rings was suspended when Annatar later revealed himself to be Sauron. Celeborn and his wife Galadriel ruled here in 750 SA (according to Tolkien’s works) and later Celebrimbor, Feanor’s successor, ruled the kingdom. The Eregion, or Holin, was the realm of the Noldorian Elves in the Second Age, located on the western edge of Moria. The kingdom of Lindon was the only survivor of the terrible War of Wrath with Morgoth. Lindon, named by the Noldor, is the kingdom of Gil Galad in the western part of Middle Earth, established at the beginning of the Second Age. When Morgoth is defeated in the terrible War of Wrath, Finrod vows to protect Middle Earth from Morgoth’s favored disciple, Sauron, the Dark Lord (portrayed in the series), and after Finrod’s death, his sister Galadriel, one of the greatest of Elves, continues her brother’s task.įrom the west of the Blue Mountains to the east of Beleriand lies Lindon, also known as the Kingdom of the Elves. Under the influence of the god Eru and his Valar and Melkor, its map was changed many times from the First Age to the Second Age. Middle Earth is located north of Hither Land and west of the East Sea. In Middle Earth, we find the kingdoms of Elves, Lindon, and Eregion in the north-west, the Dwarven kingdom of Khazad-dum in the south-east, the Southlands, which shelter several men’s villages and in northern Middle Earth, we see Rhovanian, where the Harfoots settled at the foot of the Misty Mountains. In the “Lord of The Rings” Trilogy, we find references from Elves, Hobbits, to the Men of Rohan, which are also mentioned in the adaptation, “The Rings of Power”, presented almost twenty years later. The various species inhabiting this Middle Earth have developed empires or habitable lands that bear the greatest monuments to Tolkien’s fictional world. Middle Earth, or Endor in the Quenya language, is the repository of all significant places. Middle Earth is vastly discussed throughout almost all of Tolkien’s universe.
