Encyclopedia > Brown Lands

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, the Brown Lands was a region across the Anduin from Fangorn forest. In the First Age the Entwives settled there and began to make gardens, and they also teached the Men that already lived there to perform agriculture. The Entwives gardens (as the region was called at that time) lasted for a long time into the Second Age, until Sauron later blasted the entire area (sometime before the Battle of Dagorlad, in addition to prevent the Last Alliance and its army from gaining provision when they eventually would march through the area), which was when it became known as the Brown Lands. Treebeard appeared convinced that the Entwives were not all destroyed but were "lost". Their ultimate fate remains a mystery. J. R. R. Tolkien in 1972, in his study at Merton Street (from by H. Carpenter) John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (January 3, 1892 – September 2, 1973) is best known as the author of The Hobbit and its sequel The Lord of the Rings. ...
