Cerin amroth by wollemisiss-d609mdr

Arwen passing away on the mound of Cerin Amroth, by Szilvia Szarvas

Cerin Amroth was a hill in the Elven realm of Lothlórien.

Description[]

Cerin Amroth had two circles of trees growing on it, the outer circle with white bark and the inner of Mallorn. When the wind blew through the branches, the sound of far seas and the cries of extinct sea-birds could be heard. Niphredil and Elanor grew in the grass.[1][2]

History[]

Cerin Amroth was the mound of King Amroth, where Elanor flowers grew, that stood in the heart of Lórien and held the house of that king before he was lost, over a thousand years before the events of the War of the Ring.[1]

Aragorn went to Cerin Amroth in TA 2980, meeting the lady Arwen again, and giving her the Ring of Barahir they plighted their troth.[3]

As the Fellowship of the Ring, fresh from Moria, entered the safety of Lothlórien and rested beside the stream Nimrodel, Frodo could hear a singing voice mingled with the sound of rippling water. Legolas remembered and sang the tragic tale of Amroth and Nimrodel.

When Durin's Bane awakened in Moria, an evil arose that began to surround the peaceful forest of Lothlórien. This became too much for Nimrodel to bear. She and her lover, the king of Lothlórien, Amroth, began their journey southwards towards the sea and the undying lands. Nimrodel became lost in the White Mountains and perished, never finding her way to Amroth who waited upon a boat tethered to the shore near Belfalas. A storm arose, driving the boat out to sea. In desperation and love, Amroth leapt from the boat to swim to shore, hoping to find Nimrodel, yet drowned in the stormy waters of the ocean.

Until the days of the Fellowship, the singing of Nimrodel could be heard in the falls near where she lived. The voice of Amroth could similarly be heard when the wind blew into Lórien from the south, where he had drowned.

The Fellowship of the Ring stopped at Cerin Amroth as they were being escorted through Lórien to the Lord and Lady in Caras Galadhon by Haldir. Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee followed Haldir up to the flet built in the center tree while the others rested in the grass. From this flet Frodo saw Caras Galadhon[1], the Anduin, and southern Mirkwood darkened by Dol Guldur. It was here, the place where Aragorn had proposed to Arwen sometime before the spring of FO 121, that Arwen went to die after he passed, becoming the site of her grave.[4]
