Lothlórien

Lothlórien is an Elven location in Middle-earth, first appearing in The Fellowship of the Ring. During the war of the ring, it was ruled by Lady Galadriel and her husband, Lord Celeborn

Not only was Lothlórien a forest, it was also a city. Galadriel and her husband, Celeborn settled there and had stayed in the a city built within it. Dwarves who enter Lothlórien were requested to be blindfolded until they got to the cities rulers.

It is considered to be the fairest elven realm in all of middle-earth.

History
Shortly after the fall of Gandalf and the Balrog, the Fellowship led by Aragorn went to Lorien, where no evil dare set foot to enter. While travelling through Lorien, Gimli, overreacting, stated that an evil Elf queen ruled the forest and told the Hobbits to stay nearer to him. Meanwhile, Frodo saw a vision of a woman's blue eyes telling him that they were getting closer. The elves sent By Galadriel encountered the eight companions and meant no harm, but by leading them to their ruler.

Later, the Company departed, and Galadriel gifted them with other items before they left. Gandalf came in a few days later this time as Gandalf the White.
