Ettendales

The Ettendales was a region north of Rivendell, contained within the Ettenmoors and adjacent to the Coldfells.

Aragorn II Elessar knew the region to by inhabited by trolls during his time as a ranger, though he was otherwise unfamiliar with it.^[1]

Etymology[]

Ettendales literally means 'giant-valleys'. It is unclear if the location was in fact a home to giants.

Etten comes from the Old English eoten, meaning Giant.^{[citation needed]}
