At the very end of the Rings of Stupid S2 finale, they show what will more than likely end up becoming Imladris. Gil-galad is there, Elrond, Galadriel, etc. There's also a handful of refugees left from Eregion there as well. Well, Imladris, or Rivendell, was founded in the year S.A. 1697. It was founded after Elrond, having merged his forces with Celeborn's, was pushed north because the armies of Sauron were pushing further into Eriador, and the elves were hard pressed. It was used not only as an outpost but also as a place to take in refugees from Eregion and the rest of Eriador as Sauron continued his brutal advance towards Lindon. Later in the war, Imladris was besieged, and that siege wasn't broken until the Numenoreans showed up around the year S.A. 1700, and joining forces with the Noldor, both the men and elves were able to push Sauron out of Eriador, ultimately defeating him at the Battle of the Gwathló. This is canon by the way @tolkienprof Just one more thing this stupid show got wrong. Oh, one last thing: Galadriel wasn't anywhere near any of these events. She had already traveled eaat through Khazad-dum with her daughter long before the war even started. Art of Rivendell by SaMo-art

"There's really no such thing as canon in Tolkien" If we didn't know already, it's confirmed. The self-proclaimed "Tolkien professor" is an absolute sellout. Did not have such a retarded statement on the list of things I would hear come out of his mouth, but here we are. Holy shit.
