The '''Northern Waste''' is a cold and icy region in the far north end of [[Middle-earth]], located above [[Mount Gundabad]] and the [[Ered Mithrin]]. It was a vast region of mostly snow and ice. The two main areas of the Northern Waste are the [[Forodwaith]] and [[Forochel]].

The [[Cold-drakes]] of the North, who drove the [[Dwarves]] out of the Grey Mountains, came from the Northern Waste. The Drakes killed [[Dain I]] and his son [[Frór]] outside their Halls in the [[Grey Mountains]]. The Dwarves then fled to [[Erebor]] and the [[Iron Hills]]. It is likely that the "[[Goblins]] and [[Hobgoblins]]" that later colonized the Ered Mithrin drove most of the Cold-drakes back into the Northern Waste.

According to Frodo's poem "[[When evening in the Shire was grey]]", Gandalf had traveled to the Northern Waste. What his business was up there is unknown; it is nowhere else mentioned.

In the icy North too, lived a branch of [[Men]] called the [[Lossoth]]. They were a hardy folk fit to survive in the cold snowy regions of the north. The people lived mostly in tribes. The Lossoth never involved themselves with the world outside their frozen lands and played no known significant role in the wars until King [[Arvedui]], the last king of [[Arnor]], came out of hiding from an abandoned Dwarf-mine in the Northern [[Ered Luin]] and asked for aid from the Lossoth of Forochel. He was able to convince them to aid him, and as a reward gave them the [[Ring of Barahir]]. [[Círdan]] eventually sent ships for him. On his departure day, the Lossoth warned Arvedui that a storm was comming and urged him not to go, but he paid little heed to their words. He did indeed perish in the storm, and sank to the bottom of the [[Icebay of Forochel|bay]], along with the [[Palantír]] of [[Fornost]] and [[Amon Sûl]].

Haradwaith

2008-05-14T13:24:06Z

EazyE15:

'''Haradwaith''' is a land or region to the south of [[Gondor]] and [[Mordor]]. The name is loosely translated into "Sutherland". Haradwaith is s vast desert with a few Oasis and areas where Haradrim Tribes lived. We have very few direct references to Haradwaith, so its borders and extent are difficult to estimate. It may be a broad term, identical in meaning to the more common [[Harad]]. However, the few references we do have all seem to refer to the seaward lands around the [[Haven of Umbar]], so the name may relate specifically to this area.

The '''Northern Waste''' was a cold and icy region in the far north end of [[Middle-earth]], located above [[Mount Gundabad]] and the [[Ered Mithrin]].The two main areas of the Northern Waste are [[Forodwaith]] and [[Forochel]], both had the same cold weather. It was a vast region of mostly snow and ice; however it did have several great frozen lakes, and a few unfrozen lakes that had bitterly cold waters. The two main areas of the Northern Waste are [[Forodwaith]] and [[Forochel]], both had the same cold weather. However there was life in this freezing cold region.

The [[Cold-drakes]] of the North, which drove the [[Dwarves]] out of the Grey Mountains, came from the Northern Waste. The Drakes killed Dain I and his son Frór outside their Halls in the [[Grey Mountains]]. The Dwarves then fled to [[Erebor]] and the [[Iron Hills]] It is likely that the "[[Goblins]] and [[Hobgoblins]]" that later colonized the Ered Mithrin drove most of the Cold-drakes back into the Northern Waste.

According to Frodo's poem "[[When evening in the Shire was grey]]" it mentions that Gandalf had traveled to the Northern Waste. What his business was up there is unknown for it mentions it nowhere else in Tolkien's work. There were also men up in the wastes called the Lossoth. They were a hardy folk fit to survive in the cold snowy regions of the north. It is possible that some of them were in league with Angmer because the Witch King had recruited men into his service but that is only a speculation. The people lived mostly in tribes and they likely fought with eachother over land and resources as did all folk in the world. The Lossoth never involved themselves with the world outside their frozen lands and played no known significant role in the wars until King Arvedui who was the last king of Arnor came out of hiding from an abandoned Dwarf-mine near the tip of the Northern [[Ered Luin]] and asked for aid from the Lossoth of Forochel. He was able to convince them to aid him and gave them the ring of Barahir. Cirdan eventually sent ships for him. On his departure day, the Lossoth warned him that a storm was comming and urged him not to go but he payed little attention to it and he did indeed perish in the storm and sank to the bottom of the sea along with the palantir of the North. This indeed proves that the Lossoth had very keen senses.

When evening in the Shire was grey

2008-05-13T13:55:10Z

EazyE15:

This was a poem written by Frodo when he was in Lothlorien. The poem was a memory of Gandalf.

''When evening in the Shire was grey
his footsteps on the Hill were heard;
before the dawn he went away
on journey long without a word.

From Wilderland to Western shore,
from northern waste to southern hill,
through dragon-lair and hidden door
and darkling woods he walked at will.

With Dwarf and Hobbit, Elves and Men,
with mortal and immortal folk,
with bird on bough and beast in den,
in their own secret tongues he spoke.

A deadly sword, a healing hand,
a back that bent beneath his load;
a trumpet-voice, a burning brand,
a weary pilgrim on the road.

A lord of wisdom throned he sat,
swift in anger, quick to laugh;
an old man in a battered hat
who leaned upon a thorny staff.

He stood upon the bridge alone
and Fire and Shadow both defied;
his staff was broken on the stone,
in Khazad-dûm his wisdom died.
