Ettenmoors

The Ettenmoors were a highland region in Eriador which was west of the Misty Mountains, located north of the Coldfells and Rivendell and southeast of Mount Gram.

The land was wild, untamed, misty, and sinister which may be why many evil beings choose to settle there.

History
The Ettenmoors had once been a peaceful part of the Dúnedain kingdom of Arnor until the mid-Third Age during the Angmar War when the breakaway kingdom of Rhudaur was a vassal of the Witch-King of Angmar. After the war, the Witch-King fled to the Ettenmoors after his defeat at the Battle of Fornost. At this time the Ettenmoors were mainly ruled by Hillmen, Goblins, and Orc chieftains, and was home to Giants, Goblins, Trolls, Dragons, Orcs, Wargs, White Wolves, and Barrow-wights.

Appearances in adaptations
The Ettenmoors appear in video games The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II, The Lord of the Rings: War in the North and The Lord of the Rings Online.
