Ettenmoors by Rob Alexander
The Ettenmoors were a mountainous, wild, and untamed land that lay north of Rivendell. It was here that the Witch-king of Angmar fled after his defeat in the Battle of Fornost. It was the home of Trolls, and maybe some Giants and Goblins.
It is speculated that Mount Gram, from where a host of Goblins attacked the Shire, was located in the Ettenmoors.[1]
Etymology
- "In the word Ettenmoors the element etten is derived from Old English eōten 'giant, troll', and moor is used here in the sense of 'high barren land' - hence troll-fells, fells (i.e. hills of moorland) in which trolls lives"
- ― Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull, The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion, p. 183
The name is similar to the land of Ettinsmoor of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
