White Wolves

White Wolves were a type of wolf that were native to the frozen lands in the north of Middle-earth. They were seldom seen in Eriador, but seem to have remained among the snows of the Forodwaith and perhaps beyond.

In the Third Age in the year 2911, one of the harshest winters in Middle-earth's history began, it became known as the Fell Winter. The ice and snow of the north came at least as far south as the Shire. With them came the White Wolves, invading Eriador and roaming as far as the Shire. The frozen Brandywine River meant that they were even able to cross into the Eastfarthing. This was the last time the Horn of Buckland was used before the War of the Ring, one hundred and seven years later.
