Guests can join one of numerous CULTURAL AND SOCIAL EVENTS such as the weekly Elven gathering in the HALL OF FIRE every Weds. Night 'till late - music and the latest news are here discussed and ejoyed in the company of Elves. Rivendell also offers a lively  market and crafting area , and the opportunity for wonderful walks in the beautiful gardens filled with rare and exotic flowers and trees. 

One of the most important features of Rivendell is Lord Elrond Half-elven's  great library - here Elven scholars collect and catalog maps and ancient books. This is the perfect place to learn more about ancient Elven lore and traditions and languages. Travelers from all races are welcome and offered shelter, as well as diplomatic delegations from Lothlorien and Ered Luin. 

Recently the road leading to the Valley  has been unsafe, especially at night. There are rumors of orcs moving down from the mountains, and there have been sighting of trolls across The Fords of Bruinen, but let this not deter visitors from coming. Escorts can be provided on request.
