Orod-na-Thôn ("Pine-mountain"[1] or "Mount of the Pine Tree(s)"[2]) was a mountain in Dorthonion.[1] It is mentioned by Treebeard in his song In The Willow-meads Of Tasarinan:
- Ah! the wind and the whiteness and the black branches of Winter upon Orod-na-Thôn![3]
It has also been assumed that Orod-na-Thôn is a synonym for Dorthonion 'Land of Pines',[4] but Tolkien states clearly in his unfinished index of place-names occurring in The Lord of the Rings that it is a separate mountain in this region.
