  Valinor - Tolkien Gateway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Valinor (meaning Land of the Valar) is the realm of the Valar in Aman, the place to which they moved after being driven from Almaren by Melkor.
Valinor was also known as the Undying Lands as only immortal souls were allowed to reside there, with some exceptions when it came to the bearers of the One Ring, and it is said, Gimli also accompanied his friend Legolas to these lands.
In the extreme north-east, past the mountain range was the pass of Helcaraxë, a vast ice sheet which in the beginning, before Valinor was risen after the fall of Númenor in to the sky to prevent people from travelling there, joined the two continents of Valinor and Middle-earth.

Valinor is the name for a large area on the continent of Aman in JRR Tolkien's fictional world of Arda.
He, along with Valinor native and all-around mutant freak spider Ungoliant partnered and invisibly invaded the city of Valmar, and succeeded in darkening the Two Trees, which at the time were the land's sources of light (the world outside of Valinor was otherwise still dark, but for the stars, at this point).
Valinor is protected from most conventional assaults by the Pelóri mountain range on its east coast.

She can bless us with a Motherly Blessing that is a particular grace God has given her, much like a mother or father blessing their children before bedtime.
The Elves then forsook the Blessed Realm, passed into exile and pursued Morgoth to reclaim the Silmarils; and what ensued was a long and bitter war of the Elves against Morgoth.
An important note on Elbereth is her blessing of the Silmarils in Valinor [the Blessed Realm] so that any unclean flesh that touched them would burn [arda].

  Valinor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tolkien's legendarium, Valinor (meaning Land of the Valar) is the realm of the Valar in Aman, the place to which they moved after being driven from Almaren by Melkor.
The sea to the west of the island was called Ekkaia, or the encircling sea; it surrounded both Valinor and Middle-earth.
The entire great island of Valinor was surrounded on three sides (excluding the north which was instead protected by ice floes) by a huge mountain range called the Pelóri mountains.

 Wikipedia: Sauron
Ever after, Sauron served Morgoth faithfully, and even in later days, after Morgoth was defeated and locked outside the confines of the world, Sauron encouraged and coerced Men to worship Morgoth as god.
During the First Age, the Noldorian Elves left the Blessed Realm of Valinor in the Utter West (against the counsel of the Valar) in order to wage war on Morgoth, who had stolen the holy Silmarils, enchanted gems that glowed with light, from them.
In this time Sauron founded his realm in Mordor and, towards the end of the Second Age, assumed the title of King of Men.

It was also by this time, which in the songs is called Nurtalë Valinoreva (the Hiding of Valinor), that the Enchanted Isles came into being, and all the seas around them were filled with shadows and confusion.
In this way, the Blessed Realm became closed to both Morgoth and the Noldor in Middle-earth.
However, after the War of Wrath, Valinor would once again become revealed, and many of the Elves that had lived for a long time in Middle-earth would be able to travel there, and almost all of the banned Noldor would once again be able to return to the Blessed Realm.

In Valinor, the ancient Elvish tongue underwent certain changes: "Its altering...[came] in the making of new words (for things old and new) and in the softening and harmonizing of the sounds and patterns of the Quendian tongue to forms that seemed to the Noldor more beautiful" (WJ:20).
But outside the Blessed Realm of Aman, Quenya would never have been known if it had not been for the rebellion of the Noldor in the First Age.
The Blessed Realm was removed from the visible world into the realm of hidden things, and with it went all native speakers of Quenya save those of the Noldor who lingered in Middle-earth.

 My Favourite Movie-LOTR
At the end of the First Age of Middle-earth, Sauron survived the catastrophic defeat and exile of his master, the ultimate evil figure, Morgoth (who was formerly counted one of the Valar, the angelic Powers of the world).
He did this by corrupting the King's mind, telling him that the immortality of the Elves was his to take if he set foot upon the lands of Aman, the Blessed Realm, where Valinor, the realm of the Valar, was located.
At the end of the volume, Gollum betrayed Frodo to the great spider, Shelob, and though he survived, he was later captured by Orcs.

 Hopeless Courage, Part III of III -- The Lord Of The Rings -- Hollywood Jesus
Is Tolkien's "Blessed Realm" of Valinor like Valhalla, a temporary paradise (for elves) until the end of the world, when everything returns to darkness and chaos?
Men are ignorant of the "shadow ahead" which conditions elvish thought, and they tend to envy elvish immortality.
But they were once immortal, in a time and place long forgotten, until something horrible occurred resulting in an estrangement between them and Eru, the deity of Middle-earth.

The first one, led by their king Ingwë, was called the Vaniar or the Fair Elves and they never set foot upon Middle-earth again but remained in the Blessed Realm of Valinor.
But not all of their kin came to Valinor for they were lost upon the long road or turned aside and wished to stay in the starlit spacious lands of Middle-earth.
Their realms in Middle-earth - Rivendell or Imladris and especially Lothlórien - though diminished, were yet places with a different sense of time, places of light, harmony and "no stain".

Though beaten back at the end of the battle, Morgoth deals what will eventually prove to be a crippling blow to the Noldor: he destroys many of their armies, scatters their populous, and strategically divides their territory in half.
King Fingolfin, however, from his chief realm of Hithlum, observed Morgoth's initial assault firsthand - and probably realized, for the first time, the true nature of Morgoth's power, and the utter futility of the Noldor's feud with him.

Valinor (land of the Valar) is a place in J. Tolkien's stories involving Arda.
It is home to the Valar, as well as the final destination and dwelling place for most of the Elves.
It is also called the Undying Lands and the Blessed Realm - and I'll leave you to deduce from there what sort of place it's like.

At the end of the First Age of Middle-earth, Sauron survived the catastrophic defeat and chaining of his lord, the ultimate Dark Lord, Morgoth Bauglir (who was formerly counted as one of the Valar, the angelic Powers of the world).
With old age on his mind, Ar-Pharazôn lead an invasion of Aman and Valinor with the greatest host seen since the end of the First Age.
The Lord of the Rings began as a personal exploration by Tolkien of his interests in philology, religion (particularly Roman Catholicism), fairy tales, as well as Norse and Celtic mythology, but it was also crucially influenced by the effects of his military service during World War I.

Ten years later, Finrod Felagund, the king of Nargothrond and former lord of Tol Sirion, died protecting Beren in captivity; soon afterward Lúthien and Huan the Wolfhound defeated Sauron in that place and rescued Beren from the dungeons into which Sauron had thrown him.
After his defeat by Lúthien, Sauron played little part in the events of the First Age (possibly hiding from Morgoth), and after his master was defeated and taken to Valinor in chains, Sauron repented (apparently) and pleaded for mercy.
But he was unwilling to return to the Utter West for judgment, and so he fled and hid.

 LOTR: Return of the King Questions (Spoilers!)
The entire land is called Valinor or Aman, the Blessed Realm.
Sauron, by investing so much of his own power in a ring, was trying and did succeed in harnessing the Melkorian power, so that the sum of the Ring's power and that of his own remaining strength were greater than his own original power before he made the Ring.
Aman is the name of the Blessed Realm, but Valinor is the city where the Valar dwell, and the Elves who went to Middle-Earth are forbidden to go back there, because they were in exile.

This they did (on the Isle of Balar) until Earendil reached Valinor, the Blessed Realm, and managed to convince the Valar and elves of the Blessed Realm to help the elves and men of Middle Earth.
The Silmarillion says that none of the Elves who had dwelt and suffered in the Hither Lands were on the march to the north of Middle Earth, and I accept that statement as exactly that.
They didn't march with the hosts of Valinor and so they don't know much about the arrival of the army from Aman and their march.

 Sindassi - WoWWiki
The word Sindassi may well be inspired by the word Sindarin, the language of the Elves of Beleriand in Tolkien's Silmarillion.
Sindarin was the most common language of the Moriquendi, the division of elves that never dwelled in the blessed realm of Valinor.
The Noldor, after returning to Middle Earth, used Sindarin since it was the prevailing tongue among most of the elves in Beleriand when they arrived.

 Biography of J. R. R. Tolkien (1892-1973)
In his essay "On Fäerie Stories," Tolkien argues that the word Thorr was probably borne as ancient Norsemen experienced three things at once: human rage in the form of a bellowing hot-tempered, ox-stout farmer; the raucous noise of lightning and thunder; and the divine wrath before which we are all judged and found wanting.
May God bless you, my dear John Ronald, and may you say the things I have tried to say long after I am not there to say them, if such be my lot.
It had to do with silmarils, the three great jewels of the elves that were stolen from the blessed realm of Valinor by the evil creature Morgoth, and with the subsequent wars in which the elves try to regain them.
