The lands around and between Lossoth settlements are available for exploration and adventuring. The location is Forochel, northern part of Eriador, by lore its supposed to be extremely cold so I went for that, the map itself isnt based on actual lore but fitted with the general guidelines, in its north theres a tip of the icy bay, and I tried making it feel cold, with adjusted lights and glowing. The area surrounding the Icebay of Forochel is among the regions fleshed out in The Lord of the Rings Online. Appearances in adaptations Role playing gamesįorochel and the regions surrounding the Icebay of Forochel are the subject of an extensive Middle-earth Role Playing publication, The Northern Waste.Ī map of Forochel from The Lord of the Rings Online. Etymologyįorochel is a Sindarin word that meant 'North-ice'. The chief of these tribes sheltered the Arthedain king Arvedui for a time and was given the Ring of Barahir as a reward. Forochel was inhabited by a tribe of brown skinned people called the Lossoth, or Snowmen. It is speculated in The Atlas of Middle-earth that the ancient stronghold of Morgoth, Utumno, was once located in Forochel, although this is not necessarily canonical. This area roughly corresponded with the area where the Blue Mountains and the Iron Mountains once met. The area of Forodwaith that lay north of Eriador was known as Forochel, together with the great bay and cape which carried the same name.
