Mount Gram was a mountain of unspecified location.
[edit] History
Mount Gram was inhabited by Orcs led by their King Golfimbul. In Third Age 2747 they attacked much of northern Eriador, but were defeated in the Battle of Greenfields.[1]
[edit] Location
The location of Mount Gram has never been established. It is generally assumed that it is one of the Misty Mountains; Robert Foster calls it such (without citing a specific source or reason to do so),[2] and Karen Wynn Fonstad (also without explanation) places it on a promontory in the Ettenmoors.[3] However, as any confirmation lacks, the mountain could be anywhere within the northern Eriador region.
