Taur-im-Duinath was a dark and gloomy forest that extended over a vast area of the southern part of East Beleriand.
According to The Atlas of Middle-earth, Taur-im-Duinath extended over one-hundred and fifty miles from east to west and possibly two-hundred miles from north to south. Though it was separated from them by the river Gelion and Blue Mountains, Taur-im-Duinath was related to the vast Southern Forest that extended far into Eriador.[2][3]
History[]
Apparently no one lived in the forest, at least not permanently, and people seemed to fear it greatly, including the Orcs. The only people known to travel through it were a few Dark Elves, wandering on some errand of their own. All of this land was destroyed after the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age, along with most of the rest of Beleriand.[4][5]
Etymology[]
Taur-im-Duinath is Sindarin, translating as "Forest between Rivers" because it lay south of the Andram between the Sirion and the Gelion.[6]
