Lake Evendim, or Nenuial ("Lake of Twilight") in Sindarin, was a lake in Middle-earth.
The lake was about 100 miles north of the Shire in northern Eriador. It was approximately 50 miles from north to south and 20 miles east to west[1] and was bounded on the west and south by the Emyn Uial (Hills of Evendim).[2] The Baranduin or Brandywine River flowed out of the lake to the east.[1]
History
It is said that after the War of Wrath both Galadriel and Celeborn crossed into Eriador and lived by Lake Evendim. They departed for Eregion in S.A. 700.[3] In the Second Age there were Men living about Lake Evendim, some of whom met with the Númenóreans when they first sailed back to Middle-earth.[4] After the fall of Númenor Elendil established the capital of Arnor, Annúminas, on the southern shore of the lake.[5] In T.A. 1975[6] the Battle of Fornost was fought on the plain between Lake Evendim and the North Downs.[7]
