The Grey Havens

Year 1 of the Second Age -

The War of Wrath had destroyed most of the elven realm of Beleriand at the end of the First Age. The surviving elves who chose to remain in Middle-Earth founded the port city of Mithlond, also known as the Grey Havens, in the realm of Lindon. It was a major port used frequently by the Númenoreans during the raging war against Sauron in the Second Age.

 

The Grey Havens was ruled by the Telerin Elf Círdan. He was a great mariner and shipwright who was born in the Years of the Trees and maintained the honor of being the first owner of Narya, one of the Three Elven Rings. Círdan served as lieutenant under Gil-Galad, the last High King of the Noldor, and fought at the Battle of Dagorlad.

 

The Grey Havens and Círdan remained relatively quiet but important during the Third Age and The War of the Ring. It was the port where the Ring-bearers: Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, Bilbo and Frodo set sail across the Grear Sea to Valinor.
