i·Ponōrir was a region in the far north of the Great Lands in earlier versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's legendarium.[1]
History[]
i·Ponōrir was the land where the Forodwaith came from.[1] While he was leading a siege of Kortirion the Old, Orm, a sea-captain of the Forodwaith of i·Ponōrir, killed Déor, the father of Ælfwine, who was leading a "desperate sally" to defend the city.[2]
Etymology[]
i·Ponōrir is a Qenya name glossed as "the Northlands, Scandinavia".[1] It consists of the root phor- ("right-hand") and the word nórë ("native land, nation, family, country").[3]
Ponórë is the Qenya name of a region in i·Ponōrir that is glossed as Norway.[1]
