For mystra:

Valinor - The Land of The Powers
(From the Encyclopedia of Arda)
'Land of the Valar'
The land founded by the Valar after Melkor's destruction of their ancient dwelling of Almaren. Originally part of the World, Valinor could be reached by ship from Middle-earth. After the rebellion of King Ar-Pharazôn of Númenor in 3319 (Second Age), Valinor and the lands of Aman were removed from the circles of the World, and could only be reached by the Elves, following the straight road that was kept open to them.

I could have come up with my own description of Valinor, but the Encyclopedia offers such a nice, concise one, that I felt it fine to use it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] The events which take place in Valinor are detailed in The Silmarillion. Hope this answers your question mystra!
