What You'll Learn
The Undying Lands
Valinor is part of the continent of Aman, which used to be part of Arda (the world) in the First Age, before the Changing of the World. After the Changing, Aman was no longer in the same part of the world as Middle-earth, and only the Elves were allowed to travel there by the Straight Road.
Tol Eressëa, an island off the coast of Valinor, used to be part of Middle-earth but was removed into its own dimension at the end of the Second Age, about 3000 years before the events of the Lord of the Rings.
