<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Ford of Bruinen''', also called the '''Ford of Rivendell''', was the crossing of the river Bruinen (the Loudwater) on the road that led to Rivendell, the hidden valley of Elrond in [[Eriador]]. It was protected by the power of Elrond and was the scene of the rout of the Ringwraiths in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
The Bruinen flowed down out of the [[Misty Mountains]], and the Ford lay on the East Road as it approached the deep cleft of Imladris (Rivendell). It marked the last great obstacle before the safety of Elrond's house, and the high valley beyond it was guarded by hidden watchers.<br />
<br />
== The flight to the Ford ==<br />
The Ford is most famous as the climax of the journey of [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] from Bree to Rivendell. Wounded by a Morgul-blade at Weathertop and pursued by the nine Ringwraiths, Frodo was borne toward the Ford on the swift Elf-horse of Glorfindel. He reached the crossing barely ahead of the Riders.<br />
<br />
When the Nazgûl pressed onto the Ford to seize him, the river rose against them in a great flood, its waters loosed by the command of Elrond, who held power over the Bruinen. The torrent, in which some perceived shapes of white horses and riders, swept the Ringwraiths away and destroyed their steeds, ending the pursuit. Frodo, at the very edge of his strength, collapsed and was carried into Rivendell, where Elrond healed his grievous wound.<br />
