It was built by Melkor ( later called Morgoth ) to guard against a possible attack from Aman by the Valar.

The top-secret cell, Unit 131, which was to carry out the operation, had existed since 1948 and under Aman since 1950.

At the time of Operation Susannah, Unit 131 was the subject of a bitter dispute between Aman ( military intelligence ) and Mossad ( national intelligence agency ) over who should control it.

Despite his concerns, Aman continued using Elad for intelligence operations until 1956, when he was caught trying to sell Israeli documents to the Egyptians.

It was located in the middle of the Great Ocean, between the western shores of Middle-earth, and the eastern shores of Aman, where the Valar dwelt.

The world that had been flat was now spherical, and Aman was only open to Elves, who could still find the Straight Road.

Arda was made spherical, and Aman was put beyond it, out of the reach of mortal men.

This island existed through most of the Second Age, but was destroyed as a result of the pride of the Númenórean people in defying the Ban of the Valar and sailing to Aman in the west.

Aman was taken out of the world, and could only be reached by the Elves, following the straight road that was granted to them.

Valinor was established on the western continent Aman when Melkor ( a Vala later named Morgoth, " the black foe ", by the Elves ) destroyed their original home on the island Almaren.

Then Eru Ilúvatar was called upon by the Valar and the island was destroyed, and Aman was lifted into another dimension as Earth became bereft of Valar and was left for Men to govern.

Eldamar was included in Valinor, which meant the " land of the Valar ", but was the true Eldarin name of Aman, according to Tolkien.
