Tarnost

Tarnost was, presumably, a city in Gondor. It was located on the northern foothills of the Hills of Tarnost, between the river Gilrain to the east and Dol Amroth to the west. To the north was the river Ringló. The city is not mentioned in The Lord of the Rings.

Other versions of the Legendarium

Tarnost and the Hills of Tarnost are so named on the map of the White Mountains in The Atlas of Middle-earth. However, in the close-up map of Gondor in The Return of the King, the hills are not named, and the city is not present. The only reference can be found in The War of the Ring, where a dot is visible, and a pencil note calling it Tarnost. The hills are unnamed.
