Mithlond Mithlond

Mithlond - Definition

The Mithlond or the Grey Havens was a haven (seaport) on the Gulf of Lune in the northwest of J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth.

Built by the Elves of Lindon at the beginning of the Second Age, it was afterwards used by the Elves to leave Middle-earth for Valinor. CĂ­rdan the Shipwright and Galdor of the Havens lived there.

Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins also went to Valinor from the Grey Havens, and a family tradition held that Sam Gamgee (having been himself a Ringbearer, albeit briefly) did likewise, in the year 1484 of the Shire Reckoning. (Fourth Age 61)
