History
Arwen bid farewell to her son Eldarion and her daughters, whom she had loved after the death of King Aragorn. Arwen left Minas Tirith and chose to reside in the abandoned Lothlórien. She became cold and grey while living alone under the fading trees of Lorien. Galadriel and Celeborn, the couple who ruled the woods of Lothlórien, were gone. The land had become deserted, and the beauty of Lórien had faded. The magnificent Mallorn trees that grew on these lands had tumbled. Lorien, the Heart of Elvendom on Earth, was depopulated. Arwen died in Fo.A. 121 and was buried at the same mound of Cerin Amroth, which carried great memories of her life with Aragorn. [1] The burial ground was filled with Mallorn trees and was just a hundred feet away from the flet of King Amroth. It is still unclear as to who buried the Queen of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. [2]
Verses Describing Arwen & Her Grave
The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A, "The tale of Aragorn and Arwen."
There at last, when the Mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth, and there is her green grave until the World is changed. All the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and Eleanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the Sea.
The Peoples of Middle-earth, Part 1, Chapter 8, The Tale of Years of the Third Age
But at last, she laid herself to rest on the hill of Cerin Amroth, and there was her green grave until the shape of the World was changed.
