Valinor

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Undying Lands beyond the western sea — where the Valar dwell in eternal light and where the weary immortals sail to find rest from Middle-earth's sorrows.

Also known as: Valinor, the Undying Lands, the Blessed Realm, Aman, the West

What They Know

• Only Elves and Ring-bearers who have been granted special grace may sail to Valinor — mortals cannot reach it
• The ships that sail from the Grey Havens follow the Straight Road, a hidden path across the curved world
• Frodo and Bilbo were granted passage to Valinor because of their Ring-bearing — an extraordinary exception for mortals
• The Istari (wizards) were Maiar sent FROM Valinor to aid Middle-earth against Sauron
• Valinor was removed from the physical world after Númenor's fall — it exists in a separate plane
