Rivendell, the home of the elves in Middle-earth, was left behind after the elves departed. It was a beautiful and magical place, with forests, rivers, and mountains. Over time, it became a place of legend, its history and treasures slowly forgotten by the world. Today, it is a place of ruins, its ancient elven inhabitants long gone. Only the faint echoes of their songs and the rustling of leaves in the wind remain.
