Celebrían's capture and torture by orcs, and subsequent departure to Valinor, was a heartbreaking loss that deeply affected her family. At the same time, her departure must have affected not only those close to her, but the entirety of Rivendell. How does the departure of the Lady of Imladris affect its citizens? Does it cause some to decide there is no joy left in Middle-earth for them as well? What of those who stay behind? How does Rivendell as a whole emerge from what was certainly a period of mourning?

Appearances of canon characters and OCs alike are welcome.
