Rivendell, or Imladris, was an Elven dwelling in the Misty Mountains on the eastern edge of Eriador. Because of its location, it was called "The Last Homely House East of the Sea" from the point of view of a traveler going to the Misty Mountains and Wilderland; and also the First Homely House from the point of view of someone coming from these lands to the civilized lands of Eriador to the west.
It was established by Elrond in S.A. 1697 as a refuge from Sauron after the fall of Eregion. It remained Elrond's seat throughout the remainder of the Second Age and until the end of the Third Age, when he took the White Ship for Valinor. Rivendell had a strong alliance with the Kings of Arnor and after the fall of Arthedain it became a refuge for the Rangers of the North and the heirs of Isildur. Besides Elrond himself, notable Elves who lived there included Arwen and Glorfindel.

During the War of the Elves and Sauron, and as Sauron was moving against Eriador, Elrond led an army of Elves of Lindon to the region. They arrived late but were joined by a detachment out of Eregion led by Celeborn. Despite this, Sauron's armies overwhelmed the Elves, and Elrond was unable to reach Eregion. Forced northward toward the headwaters of Bruinen, Elrond established a stronghold.This became a refuge for those seeking shelter from Sauron's onslaught in Eriador, and Elrond's and Celeborn's Elves were soon joined by many fleeing the Sack of Eregion. More came as Sauron ravaged Eriador on his march toward Lindon. By S.A. 1700, Sauron had overrun all of Eriador and Imladris was besieged. The siege ended when Gil-galad's forces, strengthened by the armament sent by Tar-Minastir, routed Sauron's armies and drove him out of Eriador. A Council held at that time made Elrond Gil-galad's vice-regent in Eriador, and Imladris his seat. Gil-galad bestowed Vilya upon Elrond in secret. Aided by the power of the Elven ring, Elrond made Imladris one of the chief seats of Elvish strength in the west in the latter part of the Second Age. Imladris remained an Elvish stronghold in Eriador to the end of the Second Age and into the Third.
At the end of the Second Age, Elendil and Gil-galad formed the Last Alliance of Elves and Men to challenge Sauron, and their host halted for a while at Imladris before crossing the Misty Mountains. Isildur's wife and his youngest son, Valandil, were in Imladris at that time, and Isildur was journeying back to them after Sauron's defeat when he was ambushed at the Gladden Fields. After receiving the shards of Narsil, Valandil took up his role as King of Arnor and left Imladris for Annúminas.
After the fall of Gil-galad, Elrond remained in Imladris. During the Third Age it was a refuge and sanctuary; many Elves gathered there, and it was the chief dwelling of the High Elves in Eriador. The heirs of Isildur were also harbored there due to their kinship with Elrond, as descendants of his brother Elros. Rivendell maintained this relationship with the North Kingdom throughout the Third Age, and Elrond and his people remained steadfast allies to the heirs of Isildur. Situated on the western slopes of the Misty Mountains, Imladris was near Arnor's eastern province of Rhudaur, which became independent during the disintegration of the North Kingdom in T.A. 861.
After the end of the North-kingdom in T.A. 1975 Aranarth, the first Chieftain of the Dúnedain, had his son fostered in Rivendell, as were all subsequent sons of the chieftains. The heirlooms and treasures of the house of Isildur, including the shards of Narsil, were also kept there after Arvedui's death. Among these were also some of the few remaining documents containing the history of Númenor.

Mae Govannen, friend! We are a mature group of friends who enjoy gaming. Especially the Total War franchise. Our clan is based upon making fun and a vast friendship that cannot be broken. Now you may think, what does this clan offer me? Well, it will offer you a fun gaming experience in the Total War games and becoming better at it. You will surely also make new friends.
We have chosen the Elves of Imladris (better known as Rivendell) because they have strong tactics and they do wonderful in combat. Their armor also looks fabulous. We will also try to keep our tactics as they have shown in the movies. Our armies will consist of Spearman, Swordsmen and Archers.

We want to create a comfortable environment for everyone. We want to participate in Clan battles and train sometimes to keep our skill cap high. We will be serious and mature but that doesn't mean you can't have fun. It basically means no trolling, no racism, overall no childish behaviour. We want our members to be active, having the will to improve and having tons of laughter and joy.

Our recruitment phase is very simple. If you are 16 or older, just add one of our Team Captains on Steam and answer to the questions they ask you. Once you have been accepted you will get acces to the Steamgroup and our Teamspeak (being worked on atm).

In our clan we use a special unique tag that will identify ourselves. The tag may be a little bit unusual to several persons. We only want to have our own unique identity and being known in this and the Total War community. Our Clan-Tag will be -]KoR[- and you will have to pick an Elvish name. Firstname + Surname or one of both. Here are some examples:
-]KoR[-Aräkîri-Galudirithon
-]KoR[-Thranduil
We want to keep our names Elvish. It is better for roleplaying and being recognised into the clan. When you have joined our clan and followed the recruitment phase, we will give you a list of names to choose from. As you may have seen we don't use ranks in our Clan. Everyone is equal. We only have 2 Team Captains who take leadership in clanbattles and trainings so things don't get messed up. Hope to see you soon!
