Calendar of Imladris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Calendar of Imladris was a calendar used in J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth by the Elves of Rivendell. (Imladris is the name of that place in Sindarin.) It is apparently the only Eldarin calendar described by the Hobbits in the Red Book of Westmarch[1].
