Tol Galen

Tol Galen, the Green Isle, is a small island in the River Sirion in the First Age, a place of profound significance in the ancient history of Middle-earth. It is most renowned as the hidden refuge where Beren and Lúthien Tinúviel made their home after the fulfillment of their quest and the granting of Lúthien's mortality. It was here that their son Dior was born, making Tol Galen the cradle of a new generation of the Half-elven and a vital link in the lineage that would eventually lead to Elrond and Elros. The island stands as a rare and poignant symbol of peace and love in an age dominated by the shadow of Morgoth, a green sanctuary that briefly flourished in the midst of a tragic and war-torn era.
