Lindon

Lindon is a major location in the Middle-earth book series. It was a region of the Westlands. Initially populated by Laiquendi, in the following Ages, it became an important Elvish realm, known for its harbors and Elven Ships that would sail for the West.  
Elves primarily from Lindon were there during the Last Alliance of Men and Elves. The Grey Havens, too, were located here.
==Description==
Lindon was a name of Ossiriand, a region west of the Blue Mountains, in Eastern Beleriand. After the deluge of Beleriand in the War of Wrath, Lindon became the westernmost land of the continent of Middle-earth. The Gulf of Lune broke into Lindon and the Blue Mountains and divided the realm into Forlindon (North Lindon) and Harlindon (South Lindon). The eastern border of Lindon was the Lune, beyond which was Arnor.
Although Gil-galad's kingdom did not have clear bounds south of the Lune, the Elves of Lindon maintained an outpost at the Tower Hills.
After the War of the Elves and Sauron and the establishment of Imladris, the realm of Lindon was diminished and did not extend beyond the Blue Mountains any more.
In the tumult following the Downfall of Númenor, Lindon suffered great loss as "the sea rode in upon the land", and therefore had shrunk when the Third Age began.
