Encyclopedia > Ered Lithui

The Ered Lithui (Sindarin for "Mountains of Ash") is a fictional mountain range in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.


From the Morannon, where it meets the Ephel Dúath, the Ered Lithui runs generally eastward for hundreds of miles, forming an impenetrable northern border of Mordor. The name "Mountains of Ash" suggests that the range is downwind of Mount Doom and collects its ash fallout.

Could the eagles have flown Frodo into Mordor? (4516 words)
They then turn south and end up at some point along the Ered Lithui around a hundred miles east of Cirith Gorgor, directly north of Mount Doom on the north side of the mountains.
For this reason, it is unlikely that Sauron would devote much attention to watching the Ered Lithui or the uninhabited Brown Lands.
As noted above, the Ered Lithui were considered to be a secure border, and it is not clear why Sauron would waste troops to patrol a border from which no land-based invasion is possible.
