In Lindon north of the Lune dwelt Gil-galad, last heir of the kings of the Noldor in exile.
- Appendix B, The Tale of Years
One of the three Elven havens built on the shores of the Gulf of Lhûn during the Second Age, the harbour of Forlond was established in northern Lindon after the drowning of Beleriand.
The dwindling of the Elves has left much of the city in ruins. Only the city's centre remains inhabited by the end of the Third Age. The few remaining Elves maintain nothing but the harbour itself.
The Noldor’s interest in art and ability with stonework has provided the greatly advanced architecture seen in the city's most prominent mark, the palace of Gil-galad, the last High King of the Noldor. It has been abandoned since his death during the War of the Last Alliance over three millennia ago, leaving the once mighty palace complex a shadow of its former self.
