 |
|
Hi everyone - digging for info again!
Could anyone please tell me if there was ever any mention of the name given to the colony established by Legolas in the south of Ithilien, please?
I've had a trawl around the net and all of the names I've seen have been invented by fiction writers, so would it be acceptable to 'name' it myself. (If so, I would be grateful for any suggestions.)
Thank you .

I've never found an official name for it. Do we even know for sure that it's in the south of Ithilien? I thought it was just listed as "in Ithilien."

In LOTR as well as in HOME it's only Ithilien. I even ask myself, as Faramir is supposed to live in South Ithilien, in the hills of Emyn Arnen, wouldn't the Elves prefer to live a bit separated from Men in the woods?
And when Legolas says he's going to live "in these fair woods" with his people, he is at the Field of Cormallen, which is more in the North.
As for the name, I think you may make one up for yourself. My Elvish is not goodd enough for suggesting one. I have a link that might help: http://realelvish.artshost.com/. They're offering help for translations.
Good luck! nienor |

 Thank you both for your helpful replies. I knew I could depend on the knowlegable folk at OS to know the answers. You are wonderful.
I'll try the site too.

Emyn Arnen's pretty much smack in the middle of the province, isn't it? I suppose technically it might be South Ithilien but it really isn't in the southern part of Ithilien.
I always figured the Elvish colony was probably in the eastern part of the province, because aren't they working to restore the damage done by Sauron's minions? Surely there would be more of that as you get closer to Mordor. I would also think they'd like a well-wooded area that would remind them of Mirkwood, which again makes the northern (northeastern) part seem more likely IMHO.
On the other hand, we also know that Legolas designs the gardens for Faramir's new home, and he'd probably also want to be within easy visiting distance of Aragorn in Minas Tirith. So I would also buy the idea of the Elves living closer to the more populated areas.
Really, I guess that's just a long way of saying you can put it wherever you want it!
