Entering Esteldín
Submitted by Turchiron on September 30th, 2017
" ...the Dúnedain of the North, ........a strange people wandering secretly in the wild, and other men knew not their homes nor the purpose of their journeys, and save in Imladris, in the House of Elrond, their ancestry was forgotten." (Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age)
Esteldín means "Hidden Hope" in Sindarin, and indeed the city is hidden from the eyes of the Enemy. None but the Rangers of the North know where it lies and are permitted entry. Not even their closest allies, the Elves of Imladris.
