Category:Aman

In the Elder Days, this name was given to the continent of Aman and its adjoining islands west of Endor over the Sundering Sea, inhabited by the immortal Valar and those of the Elves who "passed into the West". After the fall of Númenor in the Second Age the Undying Lands are removed from the "sphere of the world." Only ships that can "sail the straight path," which usually requires the permission of the Valar, can leave the surface of Endor and reach Aman.Important regions of Aman are Tol Eressëa and Valinor.

The founding of Aman
The desecration of Arda affected all of its territories, but the middle reaches of Endor witnessed the most terrible travails. Illuin and Ormal stood on the highest peaks ever erected in Arda, and their fiery fall swept across the regions that separated them. The Middle Land, Middle-earth, suffered dearly, for the Lamps were anchored on its flanks. Its roots torn, its fields washed in flame and flood, Endor was sullied and dark. In the aftermath, the Valar looked elsewhere for a home. They turned to the Outer Lands, those regions separated from the Walls of Night by the Encircling Sea. Of these, the fairest and westernmost was Aman, the Blessed Land. It was a remote place lying at the edge of the the World, and far from Utumno, which lay in the northern- most marches of Middle-earth. Taking leave of the war against the Great Evil, the Valar left Endor and entered Aman, making it their residence. A wall of high mountains marched along the eastern side of the Blessed Land. Grander than any left in Endor, they sheltered most of Aman from the rest of the World. Only a narrow but fertile shelf lay between them and the Great Sea that parted Aman and Endor. Behind these mountains, the Pelori, the Valar established Valinor, their new home. There, all was hallowed and full of enduring life amidst the Exalted Spirits; thus, the name "Undying Lands." Nevermore would the Valar have want of their own abode.
