Lothlórien is an ancient golden wood where mallorn trees stand with grey trunks like pillars of silver, their leaves and flowers creating a golden canopy and floor even in winter. The elven city of Caras Galadhon rises on a green hill within the trees, its lights gleaming amid the branches like stars, while Cerin Amroth's mound blooms with elanor and niphredil. It exists in a timeless state of purity and subtle deep magic, evoking the Elder Days with soft light, fresh air, and no hint of decay or evil.
