Within the context of the story, Rivendell (Imladris) lies about 3-350 miles to the east of the Shire, the homeland of the Hobbits. During the War of the Ring, the Fellowship of the Ring bypassed the High Pass because the eastern side of the Misty Mountains had become too dangerous due to a winter snow storm. Some people are curious about the overall landscape of Middle-earth and lose track of where Rivendell (also known as Imladris) is positioned on the highly detailed maps in the books. Īfter the Battle of Five Armies, the pass was once again free from danger and was maintained by the Beornings, and for many years afterwards it became important for trade between Eriador and Rhovanion. Thorin and Company were captured there in TA 2941 when they intended to pass through the mountains on their way to the Lonely Mountain. Afterwards, the pass was considered safe for about one-hundred and forty years until TA 2940, just before the Quest of Erebor when goblins of Goblin-town had delved an entrance to their underground tunnels on the pass. Only with the advent of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, which nearly eliminated these Orcs, did the pass become safe again. Third Age ĭuring the later Third Age the Pass became dangerous again because of the Orcs increasing in the mountains. In the later days of the Second Age, the High Pass was used by the armies of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men led by Gil-galad and Elendil when they marched through it on their way to confront the armies of Sauron in Mordor. Later in the First Age the High Pass was used by the Dwarves, who connected their roads (the Great East Road and the Men-i-Naugrim through Mirkwood) with it. The High Pass was first created before the First Age by Oromë the Vala, in order to allow for a crossing of the mountains by the Eldar. ![]()
