[edit] Synopsis

The Great March of the Elves finally ended. The Vanyar and the Noldor went first to Valinor on the island Tol Eressëa.
However, the Teleri tarried in the shores of Beleriand, where they were taught by Ossë, so many became reluctant to leave Middle-earth. Those who remained built the cities of Brithombar and Eglarest on the shores of Falas, with Círdan as their leader. When the isle came back for them, the other Teleri embarked in, but Ossë stopped the island in the middle of the Sea, and the Teleri lived there for many ages.
Then follows a description of how the Elves lived in Valinor, in their city of Eldamar, the city of Tirion in the Calacirya and the haven of Alqualondë built by the Teleri on the shore of Aman. Then we are told the relationships among the three houses, and the children of the three Kings.
