Mirkwood was a great forest in Middle-earth located in the eastern region of Rhovanion between the Grey Mountains and Gondor.
Mirkwood was a dense and heavy woodland, its natural land features included the Mountains of Mirkwood, a sizable river referred to in Tolkien’s map as the Forest River, that ran from the Grey Mountains down to Long Lake, and a smaller river that ran from the Mountains of Mirkwood to join with the Forest River west of the Elven-king’s Halls.
Bilbo Baggins, along with Thorin Oakenshield and his band of Dwarves, ventured into Mirkwood during their quest to regain the Lonely Mountain from the greedy dragon Smaug. They came across many Giant Spiders (eww) and were captured by the elves. They were brought as prisoner to Thranduil’s palace – the Elvenking’s Halls.
King Thranduil and Legolas lived and ruled from here, just inside the eastern border of Mirkwood on the north bank of the Forest River. The great cave had many passages and wide halls, living quarter and dungeons (As Bilbo and his company found out themselves..). While most of the Elves lived in the woods, the king’s halls served as his palace and treasure vault, and was also a fortress for the Elves in times of danger.
After Sauron was defeated, the darkness was lifted from Mirkwood, and Thranduil gave it the name Eryn Lasgalen, or Greenwood. 🙂
Dear traveler, what brought you to this forest? Do you have unfinished business with the elves, or were you drawn to Mirkwood’s magical elements? Rest on the riverbank and listen to the dreamy sounds of elvish singing…but be careful, there are lots of spiders lurking…
