The continent Aman was created as a home for the Valar after the destruction of Almaren by [[Morgoth|Melkor]].<ref>Tolkien, J. R. R. (1977), Christopher Tolkien, ed., The Silmarillion, Boston: Houghton Mifflin, ISBN 0-395-25730-1</ref> The Valar raised a mountain range, known as the Pelóri, in the East to isolate Aman from the rest of the world. Enchanted islands were placed as a barrier to prevent travelers from reaching the continent from Middle Earth. After the Númenóreans attempted to reach Aman and attain immortality, [[Eru]] removed the continent from the face of the earth so that few could reach it. Travel into the west was made impossible except for those that know the way.
