Ost-in-Edhil

Ost-in-Edhil

(also called Hollin).

Ost-in-Edhil (literally "fortress of the Elves") was established by the Noldor during the Second Age, located where the Sirannon met the Glanduin. A large road was erected to the West Gate of Khazad-dûm under the shadow of the Hithaeglir (Misty Mountains).

Ost-in-Edhil was first ruled by Galadriel before she and her husband moved to Lórien east of the Misty Mountains. After their departure rule passed to Celebrimbor, a descendant of Fëanor. Here the Noldor created the Rings of Power. During the War of the Elves and Sauron Ost-in-Edhil was completely destroyed by Sauron's forces, but its ruins survived into the Third Age.

The Fellowship of the Ring encounters the ruins of Ost-in-Edhil shortly before reaching Moria, and Legolas hears the stones speaking of the Elves of Eregion:

: "Deep they delved us, ": " High they built us, ": " Fair they wrought us, ": " But they are gone."
