Enchanted Isles

The Enchanted Isles , or Shadowy Isles, were a chain of islands in the west of Belegaer.Unfinished Tales, Part One: The First Age, Chapter I: "Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin" The archipelago surrounded part of Aman, east of Valinor and all of Tol Eressëa, set in the Shadowy Seas.The Atlas of Middle-earth, The First Age, The Elder Days, "Valinor"
==History==
After the poisoning of the Two Trees and the Revolt of the Ñoldor, the Valar created a series of islands to aid in the Hiding of Valinor. The sea around them was filled with mist and the number of the islands was uncertain and no charted course could go through them. Furthermore, the isles were enchanted; in fact, it was said that anyone who set foot upon these isles would fall into a great sleep until the Change of the World.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XI: "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor" The only exceptions were Tuor and Idril, who were invited by the Valar, as well as Eärendil and Elwing, who escaped enchantment by the light of the Silmaril and the permission of the Valar.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIII: "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin"The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIV: "Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath" At the end of the Second Age, the Enchanted Isles presumably went with Aman and Tol Eressëa after they were removed from the circles of the world.

In Roverandom, the homonym protagonist is taken by the great whale Uin through the Shadowy Seas, beyond the Magic Isles. There, from the Bay of Fairyland, he saw the Mountains of Elvenhome and the white glint of a city of Elves on a green hill far away in the distance as well as the light of Faery.
