Rivendell, home of Elrond and the Last Homely House.
The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is the series that jumpstarted the entire fantasy genre and made the public aware that not all fantasy novels were fairy tales for children. As a philologist, Tolkien made many languages for his make-believe world of Middle Earth, and also created a vast history of his world. Because of these two aspects and his matter-of-fact, vivid writing style, the novels are very realistic. The only slight imperfections I see to his novels are the less active roles of women and the occaisionally shallowly developed characters, though these by no means detract from the novels' value.

| Interplay's Lord of the Rings computer game -- which is really only the Fellowship of the Ring. The sequel, The Two Towers, was also made. Not the best quality graphics, but I found them bothquality graphics, but I found them both fun and engaging. Unforunately, I had to take this link down because Interplay doesn't even mention them anymore. However, you can probably download them from abandonware sites.
