Imladris
Welcome To The House of Elrond friend!
Imladris is the Elvish name for Elrond's refuge in the western glens of the Misty Mountains, known to Men as Rivendell. Imlad is the Elvish word for a valley or dell, and ris in this context means 'ravine', though it comes from a root-word meaning 'cut', referring to the deep, narrow nature of the valley. Tolkien uses the more picturesque old word 'riven' in his English translation of the name, 'Rivendell'.
