Valinor or Valinórë (Q. "Land of the Valar", S. Balannor) also known as Dor-Rodyn (S. Land of Lords) or Regeneard (Éo. "Home of the rulers"), was the most blessed and sacred realm in Arda, situated in the western continent of Aman. It was the dwelling place of Valar and Maiar, and the highest among the Calaquendi who had been summoned to live in the light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Its central city was Valimar, the City of Bells, and to the east, along the coasts, lay Eldamar, where the Elves dwelt, including the island of Tol Eressëa. Protected by towering Pelóri Mountains, and hidden from the reach of mortal beings after the Changing of the World, Valinor remained the seat of divine power and eternal bliss, a Realm of Otherworld untouched by the sorrows of Middle-earth.
