Alqualondë

[Annunfuiniel]

The straight road was still open Westbound, I wonder if it was also still open to the East

I don't know whether the Road was open for the Teleri or other elves but at least some Maiar could use the path both ways. The Vanyar and the Teleri seem to have had no desire to sail back to East and so they had no use of such road but I don't know about the Noldor; well, I don't think it would have been the Valars' will that they returned to East considering what happened the first time...

I agree with The X Phial that there still was enough sea for the Teleri to sail; they never were such sailors as the men of Númenor with their desire to see all the world (and conquer it). They were most likely quite happy with what they had; and that was still a vast area for I doubt their "world" ended sharp edged right behind Tol Eressëa.
