Taur-e-Ndaedelos was another name of Mirkwood, after the Necromancer emerged at Dol Guldur.
Etymology[edit | edit source]
The name is Sindarin and means "forest of the great fear",[1] from taur ("forest") + en ("of the") + daedelos ("shadow of fear").[2]
In another point, the latter word was given the form Daedhelos (with lenited -delos) and glossed as "Shadow of Abomination".[3]
Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]
In The Book of Lost Tales, the Gnomish names Ladwen-na-Dhaideloth, Ladwen Daideloth and Dor-na-Dhaideloth appear, referring to a land of Tol Eressea known as Heath of the Sky-roof. It was the site of a great battle, and afterwards was known as Withered Heath.[4]
