Narrows of the Forest

Narrows of the Forest was the "waist" of Mirkwood forest made so by the indentation of the East Bight.

It was located in the south-central part of the forest and was quite narrow, hence the name with an east-west length of only about eighty miles while most of Mirkwood's areas were over a hundred miles in length from east to west.

History
During the time of the Wainriders invasions, Forthwini, the Lord of the Éothéod lands were frequently raided by the Easterling invaders who came through the Narrows and up Anduin.
