Well, it would in the case of Tolkien be a bit more specific. It would refer to a particular place and be the opposite of what?

Isn't that when the Valar made it impossible to reach Valinor by merely sailing West by removing it far far far far far far ... far away?

Elros, of the line of Earendil, lived to be 500 years old, and was the oldest living Man ever recorded.

Born: 525 First Age
Died: 442 Second Age
