Elrond had fled with the survivors of Eregion to the North where he built a haven and fortress to hold out against Sauron he named it Imladris or Rivendell in the common tongue. In SA 1697 Imladris came under siege by the forces of Sauron, and was cut off from Lindon and Khazad-dûm. In SA 1700 the siege was broken and Sauron was defeated at Battle of the Gwathló.
