The One Wiki to Rule Them All

The Great Journey, or Great March, was the journey that many Elves took from Cuiviénen, the place of their awakening, to Valinor in Aman. These Elves were named the Eldar.

History[]

After the War of the Valar against Melkor, much of northern Middle-earth was broken. Oromë returned to take the Eldar with him to Valinor to live in peace under the protection of the Valar. The majority of the Elves departed, but a part remained behind, becoming known as the "Avari" in the Sundering of the Elves.

Oromë guided the Eldar north of the Sea of Helcar, passing under the smoke of the ruined Iron Mountains. Some Eldar fled in fear, and disappeared from history. Later the host passed through a great forest (the later Mirkwood) on the path where later was the Old Forest Road, and then long waited at the shores of the Great River Anduin while Oromë sought a way to get them over the Misty Mountains, which were much higher in those days.

When Oromë returned, having found (or forged) the High Pass (close to where Rivendell was later built), most Eldar went on, but a group remained behind under their leader Lenwë), becoming known as the Nandor.

The remaining Eldar passed north of the immense forests that covered all of Eriador, along the route of the later Great East Road that ran through Arnor. Finally the Vanyar and Ñoldor crossed the Blue Mountains, while the Lindar still lagged behind in Eriador (for which reason they became known as the Teleri).

The Vanyar and Ñoldor were ferried across Belegaer on Tol Eressëa, which would later be permanently anchored off the coast of Aman by Ulmo, while the Teleri finally entered Beleriand. When Ulmo returned for them the greater part of the Teleri finally crossed Belegaer, but a part remained behind, becoming the Sindar.[1]
