Elrond was the captain and herald in Lindon. Gil-Galad had sent him to Eregion to protect Sauron's realm.

Elrond's army arrived too late and was not big enough to defeat Sauron's army. With all the survivors, Gil-Galad, Galadriel, Arondir, Elrond and you retired to the North.

You arrived at a beautiful place, with crystal-clear waters, a bright sun and green, well-kept vegetation. For a while, you would be safe.
