(Redirected from Elven-home)
Elvenhome almost always refers to Eldamar (which is "Elvenhome" in the Elves' own tongue), the homeland of the Elves in Aman, which is its translation.[1][2]
The word also was a general term for a land inhabited by Elves. For example, an "Elvenhome" in the song about Beren and Lúthien referred to Doriath,[3] and an Elvenhome is mentioned in the Hobbit-poem The Hoard,[4] which referred to Nargothrond.[5]
