Mountains of Mirkwood

From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.

The Mountains of Mirkwood also known as Emyn-nu-Fuin is a group of smaller Mountains in the north end of Mirkwood. Many unknown beasts dwell and lurk in the mountains and if any have ventured there to explore, none have returned. Some beasts are known to live in these mountains, such as the Giant Spiders of Mirkwood, and goblins. The goblins are mainly newcomers to the mountains, fleeing into them after the Battle of Five Armies, where they built dwellings amongst the steep slopes.

[edit] History

During the days when Mirkwood was known as Greenwood the Great, the mountains were known as Emyn Duir or the Dark Mountains and were probably inhabited by Silvan Elves.
