The Brown Lands were a devastated region of Rhovanion. They were bordered by the Emyn Muil in the south, Mirkwood in the north, and the river Anduin in the west.
History
Historically, the lands were fertile plains where the Entwives had their gardens. The lands were ruined by Sauron as a defense against the advance of the Allies, and the Entwives were driven away.[1]When the Fellowship traveled by boat down the Anduin during the War of the Ring, they could see nothing but barren, withered slopes without even scrub or grass. Even Aragorn could not say what had caused such desolation. The only living thing they could see were black swans - spies of Sauron - flying overhead.[2]
