<p>Alexrd: Alexrd uploaded a new version of File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Bilbo comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves (II).jpg</p> <hr /> <div>==Summary==<br /> See [[:Image:J.R.R. Tolkien - Bilbo comes to the Huts of the Raft-elves (I).jpg]]. Not used in the original impression of The Hobbit, 1937, which included no coloured illustrations, this painting appeared in the second English impression of the same year. It was the only one of the five submitted that was not used in the first American edition, 1938. In a letter written to the American publishers in March 1938 J. R. R. Tolkien, while approving their use of 'the Eagle picture' (no. [[:Image:J.R.R. Tolkien - Bilbo woke with the early sun in his eyes.jpg]], omitted from the first English impression to contain coloured illustrations), said that he was sorry that they had not selected 'the River-picture, in which on the whole the amateur artist caught the imagined scene most closely'. In the second English impression the picture carried the printed caption 'The dark river opened suddenly wide' (from Chapter 9, Barrels out of Bond). The painting was reproduced in The J. R. R. Tolkien Calendars 1972 and 1974 and in The Hobbit Calendar 1976.<br /> <br /> [[fi:Bilbo saapumassa lautturihaltiain kylään]]<br /> <br /> ==Licensing==<br /> {{Fairuse-Tolkien}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Images by J.R.R.

His corrupting [[shadow]] was only known as the &quot;Necromancer&quot;, and as a result [[Thranduil]] led his people away. The Council of the Wise long feared the Necromancer might indeed be Sauron; [[Gandalf]] himself had entered Dol Guldur a couple of times, finally confirming that Sauron was its master. At first [[Saruman]] opposed the idea of an attack as he was searching for [[the One Ring]] in the area by then, but later, fearing that Sauron was also looking of the Ring, he finally agreed to an attack in {{TA|2941|n}}.&lt;ref name=TA&gt;{{App|TA}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===The Battle===<br /> Gandalf carefully planned the attack to occur at the same time as the [[Quest of Erebor]], knowing that Sauron and [[Smaug]] could not assist each other.{{fact}} After leaving [[Thorin and Company]] at the outskirts of [[Mirkwood]],&lt;ref&gt;{{H|Queer}}&lt;/ref&gt; he joined the White Council and they marched against the great fortress. <br /> <br /> Of the actual battle not much can be said (if this was simply a duel between great powers, or if it involved the use of armies of any kind). Thanks to the devices of Saruman, the Wise, Sauron was driven out from Dol Guldur,&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|II2}}&lt;/ref&gt;however Sauron, having already made his plans, fled to his ancient realm of [[Mordor]].&lt;ref name=TA/&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Aftermath===<br /> With victory theirs, Gandalf immediately left for [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], where he would take part in the [[Battle of Five Armies]].&lt;ref&gt;{{H|Burst}}&lt;/ref&gt; After these events, Gandalf and Elrond dicussed their victories and agreed that it would be better if the Necromancer were banished from the world altogether.&lt;ref&gt;{{H|Stage}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> However Dol Guldur was not destroyed; it remained standing, staffed by the [[Witch-king|lieutenant of Barad-dûr]], and later [[Khamûl]].&lt;ref&gt;{{UT|Hunt}}, note 1, p. 352&lt;/ref&gt; It was not before the [[War of the Ring]] when the fortress was finally [[Fall of Dol Guldur|destroyed]].<br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> <br /> '''[[2014]]: ''[[The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies]]'':'''<br /> :The Attack on Dol Guldur appears in ''The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'' as one of the main plot lines. After Gandalf was defeated and captured by Sauron in [[The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug|the previous film]], the [[White Council]] ([[Galadriel]], [[Saruman]], [[Elrond]] and [[Radagast]]) come to his aid and rescue Gandalf from Sauron and the [[Nazgûl]].<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> [[Category:Conflicts of the Third Age]]</div>

All pictures ans sketches included are related to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<br /> <br /> ==From the publisher==<br /> <br /> {{blockquote|J.R.R. Tolkien's complete artwork for his magisterial novel, published on the sixtieth anniversary of ''The Lord of the Rings''. As he wrote ''The Lord of the Rings'', J.R.R. Tolkien’s mental pictures often found expression in drawing, from rough sketches made within the manuscript to more finished illustrations. Only a few of these were meant for publication; most were aids to help Tolkien conceive his complex story and keep it consistent. Many do not illustrate the final text, but represent moments of creation, illuminating Tolkien’s process of writing and design. In addition to pictorial sketches, numerous maps follow the development of the Shire and the larger landscape of Middle-earth, while inscriptions in runes and Elvish script, and &quot;facsimile&quot; leaves from the burned and blood-stained Book of Mazarbul, support Tolkien’s pose as an &quot;editor&quot; or &quot;translator&quot; of ancient records. ''The Art of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien'' collects these drawings, inscriptions, maps, and plans in one deluxe volume. More than 180 images are included, all of them printed in color from high-quality scans and photographs, more than half not previously published. Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, two of the world’s leading Tolkien scholars, have edited the book and provide an expert introduction and comments.}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> <br /> *''[[J.R.R.

Because of its location, it was called &quot;'''The Last Homely House East of the Sea'''&quot; from the point of view of a traveller going to the [[Misty Mountains]] and [[Wilderland]]; and also the '''First Homely House''' from the point of view of someone coming from these lands to the civilised lands of Eriador to the west.<br /> <br /> It was established by [[Elrond]] in {{SA|1697}} as a refuge from [[Sauron]] after the fall of [[Eregion]].&lt;ref name=sa&gt;{{App|SA}}&lt;/ref&gt; It remained Elrond's seat throughout the remainder of the Second Age and until the end of the Third Age, when he took the [[White Ship]] for [[Valinor]]. Rivendell had a strong alliance with the [[Kings of Arnor]] and after the fall of [[Arthedain]] it became a refuge for the [[Rangers of the North]] and the [[heir of Isildur|heirs of Isildur]]. Besides [[Elrond]] himself, notable Elves who lived there included [[Arwen]] and [[Glorfindel]].<br /> <br /> ==Location==<br /> [[File:Soni Alcorn-Hender - Valley of Rivendell.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Soni Alcorn-Hender]] - ''Valley of Rivendell'']]<br /> Rivendell was located at the edge of a narrow gorge of the [[Bruinen|Bruinen River]],&lt;ref&gt;{{UT|Map}}&lt;/ref&gt; but well hidden in the moorlands and foothills of the [[Misty Mountains]].&lt;ref name=Rest&gt;{{H|Rest}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Founding===<br /> During the [[War of the Elves and Sauron]], and as [[Sauron]] was moving against Eriador, Elrond led an army of [[Elves of Lindon]] to the region. They arrived late but were joined by a detachment out of [[Eregion]] led by [[Celeborn]]. Despite this, Sauron's armies overwhelmed the Elves, and Elrond was unable to reach Eregion. Forced northward toward the headwaters of [[Bruinen]], Elrond established a stronghold.&lt;ref&gt;{{App|SA}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> This became a refuge for those seeking shelter from Sauron's onslaught in Eriador, and Elrond's and Celeborn's Elves were soon joined by many fleeing the [[Sack of Eregion]]. More came as Sauron ravaged Eriador on his march toward [[Lindon]]. By {{SA|1700}}, Sauron had overrun all of Eriador and Imladris was [[First Siege of Imladris|besieged]]. The siege ended when Gil-galad's forces, strengthened by the armament sent by [[Tar-Minastir]], routed Sauron's armies and drove him out of Eriador.<br /> <br /> A Council held at that time made Elrond Gil-galad's vice-regent in Eriador, and Imladris his seat. Gil-galad bestowed [[Vilya]] upon Elrond in secret. Aided by the power of the [[Three Rings|Elven ring]], Elrond made Imladris one of the chief seats of Elvish strength in the west in the latter part of the Second Age. Imladris remained an Elvish stronghold in Eriador to the end of the Second Age and into the Third. &lt;ref&gt;{{UT|6}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Last Alliance===<br /> At the end of the Second Age, [[Elendil]] and Gil-galad formed the [[Last Alliance of Elves and Men]] to challenge Sauron, and their host halted for a while at Imladris before crossing the Misty Mountains.&lt;ref name=&quot;SV&quot;/&gt; [[Isildur]]'s wife and his youngest son, [[Valandil (King of Arnor)|Valandil]], were in Imladris at that time, and Isildur was journeying back to them after Sauron's defeat when he was ambushed at the [[Gladden Fields]].&lt;ref&gt;{{UT|7}}&lt;/ref&gt; After receiving the shards of [[Narsil]], Valandil took up his role as King of [[Arnor]] and left Imladris for [[Annúminas]].&lt;ref name=&quot;SV&quot;&gt;{{S|V}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Third Age===<br /> After the fall of Gil-galad, Elrond remained in Imladris. During the Third Age it was a refuge and sanctuary; many Elves gathered there, and it was the chief dwelling of the [[High Elves]] in Eriador, except the [[Elves of Lindon]], but also wise and powerful people of all the races. The heirs of Isildur were also harboured there due to their kinship with Elrond, as descendants of his brother [[Elros]].&lt;ref name=&quot;SV&quot;/&gt; Rivendell maintained this relationship with the North Kingdom throughout the Third Age, and Elrond and his people remained steadfast allies to the heirs of Isildur. Situated on the western slopes of the Misty Mountains, Imladris was near [[Arnor]]'s eastern province of [[Rhudaur]], which became independent during the disintegration of the North Kingdom in {{TA|861}}.<br /> <br /> Danger came to Eriador around {{TA|1300}} when the witch-kingdom of [[Angmar]] was established in the north-east beyond the [[Ettenmoors]]. It was late in the reign of [[Arveleg I]] that [[Second Siege of Imladris|Rivendell was besieged by Angmar]]. After an incursion by Angmar into Eriador in {{TA|1409}}, the Elves of Rivendell joined those of Lindon in subduing the power of the [[Witch-king]] for many years.&lt;ref name=&quot;North&quot;&gt;{{App|North}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> After the end of the North-kingdom in {{TA|1975}} [[Aranarth]], the first [[Chieftains of the Dúnedain|Chieftain of the Dúnedain]], had [[Arahael|his son]] fostered in Rivendell, as were all subsequent sons of the chieftains. The heirlooms and treasures of the house of Isildur, including the shards of [[Narsil]], were also kept there after [[Arvedui]]'s death.&lt;ref name=&quot;North&quot;/&gt; Among these were also some of the few remaining documents containing the history of Númenor.&lt;ref&gt;{{UT|3}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> There was traffic across the Misty Mountains in the Third Age between Imladris and [[Lothlórien]], for Elrond's wife was [[Celebrían]], daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn.<br /> <br /> In the [[Quest of Erebor]], [[Bilbo Baggins]] stopped off at Rivendell with the Dwarves on the way to the [[Lonely Mountain]]&lt;ref name=Rest/&gt; and also on the way back to [[the Shire]] with [[Gandalf]].&lt;ref&gt;{{H|Stage}}&lt;/ref&gt; Bilbo retired there after his 111th birthday, writing his memoir ''[[There and Back Again]]''.&lt;ref name=Meetings&gt;{{FR|II1}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===War of the Ring===<br /> Years later, [[Frodo Baggins]] and his [[Travellers|companions]] journeyed to Rivendell, where they met Bilbo. Several other Elves, [[Dwarves]] and [[Men]] had also arrived at Rivendell on separate errands;&lt;ref name=Meetings/&gt; at the [[Council of Elrond]] they learned that all of their errands were related to the fate of [[the One Ring]], and they had to decide what to do about it. In the end, the Hobbits influenced the decision.&lt;ref&gt;{{FR|II2}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> Pine-trees grew on the top of the valley, and there was a &quot;steep zig-zag path&quot; to the valley bottom.
