When Amroth was lost at sea in TA 1981 the last of these Elves left the region. When the ship was blown prematurely out to sea, he jumped overboard in a futile attempt to reach the shore to search for her and drowned in the bay. But Nimrodel, who loved Middle-earth as much as she did Amroth, failed to join him. He waited for her at Edhellond, for their final voyage together into the West. Īmroth, King of Lórien from the beginning of the Third Age, left his realm behind in TA 1981 in search of his beloved Nimrodel, who had fled from the horror unleashed by the Dwarves in Moria, along with numerous Galadhrim. They built their stronghold upon the promontory. Elendil, who was of their kin, gave them title to rule the fief of Belfalas. ĭuring the Second Age, a Númenórean family of the Faithful settled near the Elves.
In the late First Age, Sindar refugees from Beleriand settled the area and established an Elven settlement about 50 miles north of the promontory, at Edhellond. An artist's rendition of the fortified city Dol Amroth
