Carnán

Carnán was a spirit of nature which resided in the forests of Núrn in Mordor, and had dwelt there since before any could remember. Little is known of her history, though she long protected her forest from outsiders, particularly orcs.

Her mortality was said to be bound to the Great Tree of her forest, which was the only place she could take a human-like form. She was also known to the take the forms of caragors, graugs, and drakes.

She is non-canonical as she does not appear in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and only in the video game Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

Biography
Carnán's origins are unclear, though she resided in Middle-earth by at least the Second Age, when the Balrog Tar-Goroth attacked her forest, destroying much of the wildlife. Carnán defeated Tar-Goroth, resulting in the creature's imprisonment in the pits beneath Gorgoroth.

In the Third Age, following Sauron's return to Mordor, she encountered Celebrimbor and the ranger Talion, who ventured into her forest in search of answers relating to their quest to defeat the Dark Lord. Carnán initially attempted to kill the intruders, but relented after their unexpectedly firm resistance, and informed them that their actions in Mordor had re-awoken Tar-Goroth, and that he must be defeated.
