Rivendell
Rivendell is the hidden elven sanctuary in J.R.R.
Tolkien's Middle-earth, ruled by Elrond.
Called "The Last Homely House East of the Sea," it serves as a refuge and meeting place in *The Hobbit* and *The Lord of the Rings*.
The name has become shorthand for any peaceful, secluded haven: After the chaos of the city, her cabin in the mountains was her Rivendell.
