<< Listing of Imladris Elves

To reach the Ford of Bruinen, you have to walk up a steep, brown path, from where there is approximately one day’s journey to the House of Elrond. There seems to be no trees and no valleys and no hills to break the ground in front of you, only one vast slope going slowly up and up to meet the feet of the nearest mountain. Sometimes there are steep cliffs leading to valleys down below, covered in trees and cut through by running water. Dark ravines there are also, and waterfalls leading into the deep. The only paths are marked by small, white stones, if marked at all. Then, as you look down another steep cliff, you see a valley. The sunlight is reflected by a river running over a rocky bed, and the scent of trees is warm and sweet. The path down into the Valley is zigzagged, leading you through fields of grass and trees, ever lower. Eventually you reach the banks of the mountain river, which consists of crystal clear water. The only way to cross it is by the means of a narrow bridge. Having passed over this, a trail leads you upwards to a higher cliff level. Trees and flowers surround the House of Elrond, which consists of two stories. There is no glass in the windows, and there are paths and hallways crossing the treetops at many a place. To the East, the Hithaeglir rise up like a wall of stone; their slopes covered in grass and trees.

After crossing the Bruinen, you pass a courtyard. The first part of Elrond's House has open doors. Elves enter and leave constantly, engaged in busy chatter or examining pieces of parchment. The building consists of two stories, and on top is a large belfry. The smell of food comes drifting through one of the portals, and from another emerge the sounds of debate.

You now have four choices...
