:I wouldn't call it "capital". The name only appears in Baynes' map but the fortress is mentioned in ''Unfinished Tales'': "Messengers still passed between Gondor and the Éothéod after their departure; but it was some four hundred and fifty of our miles between the confluence of Greylin and Langwell (where was their only fortified ''burg'')". – So, all we really know is that it was "their only fortified ''burg''", what it ever means.

Are there any other sources except Baynes' map? How do we know it is the capital of Eotheod and not a town or a fortress? Sage 05:48, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call it "capital". The name only appears in Baynes' map but the fortress is mentioned in Unfinished Tales: "Messengers still passed between Gondor and the Éothéod after their departure; but it was some four hundred and fifty of our miles between the confluence of Greylin and Langwell (where was their only fortified burg)". – So, all we really know is that it was "their only fortified burg", what it ever means.
