Location: The region of Aman in which the Elves dwelt, concentrated around the Calacirya and the shores of the Bay of Eldamar.
Description: ... the memory of Middle-earth under the stars remained in the hearts of the Noldor, and they abode in the Calacirya, and in the hills and valleys within sound of the western sea; and though many of them went often about the land of the Valar..., yet the peoples of Túna and Alqualondë drew together in those days. Finwë was king in Tirion and Olwë in Alqualondë; but Ingwë was ever held the High King of all the Elves. He abode thereafter at the feet of Manwë upon Taniquetil.

... [Alqualondë] lay upon the confines of Eldamar, north of the Calacirya, where the light of the stars was bright and clear.

In that time was born in Eldamar, in the house of the King in Tirion upon the crown of Túna, the eldest of the sons of Finwë....
