Lothlórien
"We must reach the woods of Lothlórien"
Aragorn
To the East of the Misty Mountains, beside the Siverlode which flows into the Great River Anduin, is the Golden Wood, Lothlórien, the heart of Elvendom in Middle-earth. The Elves of Lothlórien are Wood Elves, like the Elves of Mirkwood, and can pass through the wood quickly and quietly and with their magical grey cloaks they are virtually invisible. The Lothlórien Elves live high above the ground on their platforms builts amongst the towering mallorn trees, said to be the most beautiful trees in Middle-earth.
On the forest floor grow beautiful star-shaped flowers, named Elanor and Niphredil, with pale white petals. The silver trunked mallorns grow up into a canopy of golden leaves and in the branches the Elves build flets, their high houses. In the centre of Lothlórien grows the mightiest mallorn in the city of Caras Galadhon, this is where the Lord Celeborn and the Lady Galadriel's royal hall can be found, high off the ground.
