[edit] Etymology
Rhosgobel, glossed as "russet village or 'town' (enclosure)",[3] is evidently a compound of rhosc ("brown") and gobel ("walled house or village, town").[4][5] The name of the house was perhaps a reference to its resident, the Brown Wizard.
[edit] Other versions of the legendarium
In The Hobbit, Gandalf said that Radagast "lives near the southern borders of Mirkwood".[6] This location for Rhosgobel is supported by its appearance on the first map of The Lord of the Rings in The Treason of Isengard. A dot and the name are near the center of square L-13 on Map II, placing Rhosgobel east and a little south of the Gladden Fields.[7]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
1982-97: Middle-earth Role Playing:
- A layout, and a detailed description, is given of Rhosgobel. It is built around a large furry oak tree.[8][9]
2011: The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game:
- Rhosgobel is depicted as a u-shaped wooden house nestled in the woods surrounding a small blue pool of water or pond.[10]
