Dol Baran

As depicted in The Lord of the Rings Online

Dol Baran was a hill in Nan Curunír.

Dol Baran lay between Isengard and the Gap of Rohan, at the southernmost foot of the Misty Mountains.[1] It was covered with heather.[2]

History[]

Dol Baran was the place where Rohirrim had made a camp at which Pippin looked into the Palantír of Orthanc (a different location than in the third film), and was also where a Nazgûl, atop a Fellbeast, was seen flying.[2][3]

The hill was also where the Fellowship of the Ring (save Boromir) were fully assembled for the last time.

Etymology[]

Dol Baran is Sindarin for 'Golden-brown hill'.[4]

In adaptations[]

The Lord of the Rings Online[]

The location's only other appearance is in The Lord of the Rings Online, where it is a site of skirmish between Rohirrim and Dunlending forces.
