<p>General Rizoto: /* Page One-three */</p> <hr /> <div>{{disambig-more|Mazarbul|[[Mazarbul (disambiguation)]]}}<br /> [[File:The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring - Book of Mazarbul.jpg|250px|thumb|The Book of Mazarbul, as seen in ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring|The Lord of the Rings film]]''.]]<br /> <br /> The '''Book of Mazarbul''' is a Dwarven book containing the chronicle of [[Balin's folk]], found in the [[Chamber of Records]] in [[Khazad-dûm]]. It was written by many different authors, using [[Cirth]] of Moria and [[Dale]], as well as [[Tengwar]] . The pages of the book were marked with numbers referring to the years after [[Balin]]'s arrival in Moria. <br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The book started being updated in {{TA|2989}}, upon Balin's return to Moria. The book recounted a battle with the [[Orcs]] that inhabited the old halls of Khazad-dûm, in which [[Balin]]'s Dwarves were victorious. They settled in the Twenty-first Hall, above the East-gate, and Balin himself ruled his new domain from the old Chamber of Records, also called the [[Chamber of Mazarbul]]. Over the next five years, the [[Dwarves]] seem to have settled quite successfully into their new home, exploring under the Mountains as far as the [[Doors of Durin|West-gate of Moria]], and recovering [[Durin's Axe]] and apparently other priceless items made of ''[[mithril]]''. These feats were recorded in the book.<br /> <br /> The Lordship of Balin was short-lived. [[Ori]], who was with him in Moria, recorded in the last pages of the Book how an army of Orcs came unexpectedly out of the east, slaying Balin outside the [[Great Gates|East-gate]]. The Dwarves defended themselves, but they were beleaguered from the east by the Orcs, and from the west by the mysterious [[Watcher in the Water]]. Their last stand was in the Chamber of Mazarbul, where the Orcs eventually overcame and destroyed them. As there was no hope to escape, Ori continued writing in the book, hoping that someone would find it, and would know what happened to them.<ref>{{PM|XNotes}}, #10</ref><br /> <br /> The victorious Orcs seem not to have understood the significance of the Book, so that rather than carrying it off or destroying it, they left it to rot in the Chamber. There it was found twenty-four years later by the [[Fellowship of the Ring|Company of the Ring]], burned, slashed and blood-stained, and missing a number of pages, but still readable in some parts. [[Gandalf]] passed it to [[Gimli]] to return to King [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin]], after which nothing more is heard about it. If Gimli was able to keep it through the battles that followed, and didn't discard it with his gear at [[Parth Galen]], it is possible that he carried it throughout his travels in [[Middle-earth]], returning it at last to Dáin's heir [[Thorin Stonehelm|Thorin III]] in [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]].<br /> <br /> ==Contents==<br /> ===Page One-three===<br /> [[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Mazarbul page 1.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Facsimile of page I]]<br /> The first page [[Gandalf]] read in the Book of Mazarbul was marked ''one-three'', so at least two were missing from the beginning.<br /> <br /> This page was written using [[Angerthas Erebor]] as in a diary, written quickly without attempt at calligraphy or meticulous consistency of spelling. In writing the Common Speech, the Dwarves tended to blend its usual spelling with certain idiosyncratic phonetic usages (the Dwarves did not like to use any letter or rune in more than one value, nor to express a simple sound by combinations of letters). This page was numbered at the top with the runic numeral "three".<ref>''[[Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien]]'', ''[[The Treason of Isengard]]'' and ''[[J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator]]''.</ref><br /> <br /> The page read the following. Many parts are not readable, and the parts in [...] are those which Gandalf could not make out in the dim light of Moria.<ref>A translation of what is readable on this page, as transcribed by [[Christopher Tolkien]]:</ref><br /> <br /> ''We drove out the orcs from the Great Gate and guardroom (and took the [[First Hall]]). We slew many in the bright sun in the dale. [[Flói]] was killed by an arrow. He slew the great (chieftain) [...] Flói under grass near [[Mirrormere]] [...] (came [...]ken we repaired) [...] We have taken the [[Twenty-first Hall]] of North End to dwell in. There is (good air [...] that can easily be watched [...] the) shaft (is clear [...]) [[Balin]] has set up his seat in the Chamber of Mazarbul [...] (gathered) [...] gold [...] (wonderful lay) [[Durin's Axe]] [...] (silver) helm. (Balin has taken them for his own.) Balin is now [[lord of Moria]]. (Gandalf assumes this is the end of a chapter) [...] (today) we found truesilver [...] well-forged (helm[...]n[...]coat made all of purest) [[mithril]] [...] [[Óin]] to seek for the upper armories of the [[Third Deep]] [...] go westwards to s[...] to [[Doors of Durin|Hollin gate]].''<br /> <br /> ===Page Five===<br /> [[File:J.R.R. Tolkien - Mazarbul page 2.jpg|150px|thumb|Facsimile of page II]]<br /> Gandalf skimmed through the rest of the book; Gandalf notes that the pages begin to be numbered ''five'', meaning the fifth year of the colony. This second page was written using [[Tengwar]] of the later Westron convention which used full letters for vowels. Gandalf described the text as written by "a large bold hand using an Elvish script", which Gimli describes as [[Ori]]'s hand. The runic figure at the bottom of the page is the numeral "five".<br /> <br /> ''(r…(ye)ars since [...] ready) sorrow [...] yesterday being the [[10 November|tenth of November]] Balin, lord of Moria, fell in [[Dimrill Dale]]. He went alone to look in Mirrormere. An orc shot him from behind a stone. We slew the orc, but many more (ca(me) [...]) up from east up the [[Celebrant|Silverlode]] [...] (we rescued Balin's body [...]re a sharp battle [...]) we have barred the gates (but doubt if [...]) can hold them long. If (there is [...] no escape it will be a) horrible (fate to) suffer, (but I shall hold.)''<br /> <br /> ===Last page===<br /> [[Image:J.R.R. Tolkien - Mazarbul page 3.jpg|150px|thumb|Facsimile of page III]]<br /> The last page of the Book of Mazarbul was read aloud by Gandalf. It is written in [[Angerthas Erebor]], similar to that of the first page, but with a different hand and different details in the runes.<br /> <br /> ''We cannot get out. We cannot get out. They have taken the bridge and [[Second Hall]]. [[Frár]] and [[Lóni]] and [[Náli]] fell there (bravely while the rest retreated to Mazarbul. We still hold the passage but hope is now gone. [[Óin]]'s party) went five days ago (but today only four returned.) The pool is up to the wall at West-gate. The [[Watcher in the Water]] took Óin — we cannot get out. The end comes (soon. We hear) drums, drums in the deep.''<br /> <br /> The last line is a trailing scrawl of elf-letters reads ''They are coming...''<br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> ''[[Mazarbul (word)|Mazarbul]]'' means "records" in [[Khuzdul]]. So the "Book of Mazarbul" means the "Book of Records".<br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> Tolkien comments on his general treatment of the Book of Mazarbul pages: "...the text was cast into English spelt as at present, but modified as it might be by writers in haste whose familiarity with the written form was imperfect, and who were also (on the first and third pages) transliterating the English into a different alphabet."; "...since documents of this kind nearly always show uses of letters or shapes that are peculiar and rarely or never found elsewhere, a few such features are also introduced...".<br /> <br /> Tolkien used his knowledge of medieval manuscripts to create three facsimile pages from the Book of Mazarbul. He burnt the edges with his pipe, pierced holes along the left-hand side where the pages would have been stitched to the binding, and washed the paper with red and brown paint to resemble dried bloodstains.<br /> <br /> The final page was written mostly in runes apart from the final scrawled line ('they are coming') which was written in the Elvish script, presumably easier to use when writing at speed. <br /> <br /> The use of English to represent the Common Speech in primary sources such as the pages of the Book of Mazarbul was a result of Tolkien's vision of completely translating all Westron into modern English, even in authentic documentation, although upon reflection Tolkien said that this translation was "an erroneous extension of the general linguistic treatment".<ref>{{HM|PM}}, [[Of Dwarves and Men]] pp. 298-9)</ref><br /> <br /> Thus, the Book of Mazarbul showcases some slightly different distributions of certain English sounds.<br /> <br /> ==Other versions of the Legendarium==<br /> Tolkien hoped that these facsimile documents would be reproduced in the text but the cost of including colour pages was a step too far for his publisher, who was already taking a significant gamble by publishing this enormous three volume fantasy work for adults.<br /> <br /> Eventually, they are included in the ''[[Fellowship of the Ring]]: 50th Anniversary Deluxe edition'' in [[2005]], and ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: One-volume Special edition'' in [[2021]]. They are also included in several artwork collections, such as ''[[Pictures by J.R.R. Tolkien]]'', ''[[The Art of The Lord of the Rings]]'', and ''[[Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth]]''.<ref>[https://tai.tolkienists.org/ Tolkien Art Index] on Tolkienists.org</ref><br /> <br /> The manuscripts are now in the archive in the [[Bodleian Libraries]].<ref>[https://museoteca.com/r/en/work/7386/j_r_r_tolkien/final_page_of_the_book_of_mazarbul/!/ Final page of the Book of Mazarbul] on Museoteca.com</ref><br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> '''2001: [[Pán prsteňov (2001-2003 Slovak radio series)|''Pán prsteňov'' (2001-2003 Slovak radio series)]]:'''<br /> :The Book of Mazarbul makes an appearance in the fifth episode of the first series, set entirely in Moria. Gandalf (portrayed by Martin Huba) begins reading from it, but the majority of the excerpts are heard as a voiceover by the deceased elderly dwarf Ori (portrayed by František Kovár), the chronicler of Balin's expedition to Moria.<br /> <br /> '''2001: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring]]'':'''<br /> :A detailed prop was made for the movie, with Cirth and Tengwar letters written perhaps by [[Daniel Reeve]]. The outside cover of the prop reads: "Records (of the) Longbeards of Khazad-dûm"<br /> <br /> :The first page of the book read by Gandalf in the movie is written using Cirth (Angerthas Erebor) and Tengwar (full mode). A number of leaves before this page fall out when Gandalf opens the book. This apparently is the second to the last page.<br /> :The text read by Gandalf in the movie differs from that of the books, and is largely based on the final two pages:<br /> :''"They have taken the Bridge and the Second Hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes... Drums. Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A Shadow moves in the dark... We cannot get out...

The Dark Wizard used his magic to push Brânk against rock wall where a jagged branch dug into the back of the Gaudrim's head, appearing to kill him.<br /> <br /> His apparent death showed the Dark Wizard's aptitude for violence and caused the Stranger to refuse to fall in league the Dark Wizard.

For this reason, I do not remember whether I was interested in Tolkien or linguistics first. I also have a few conlangs (with their own scripts) on wich I’m working.<br /> <br /> My current goals, regarding Tolkien's works, are to read more of Tolkien's books and books about his works, and to learn more about [[Sindarin]] and [[Tengwar]].<br /> <br /> ===Etymology of my nickname===<br /> <br /> My absurd nickname is a combination of two words. The first being '''''General''''' (as a noun), and the second '''''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risotto Rizoto]''''' (the dish) written with Czech spelling.<gallery mode="traditional" widths="200px" heights="150px">File:Risotto.jpg|Risotto with speck and goat cheese<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> ==Rhûn==<br /> <br /> I love Arda as a whole, but something about the uncharted and mysterious [[Rhûn]] and [[Harad]] draws me to them in a strange but not unwelcome way. This combined with my liking of languages is why I'm interested in [[Rhûnnic]] from [[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power|''RoP'']], which appeared in it's second season (which I haven't watched yet XD). It's a pity there isn't more information about [[Rhûnnic| the language]]. I hope there will be more of it released in the next seasons of [[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power| the show]].<br /> <br /> <gallery><br /> File:Ralph Damiani - Gandalf and the Blue Wizards.jpg<br /> </gallery><br /> <br /> <br /> [[Rhûn (soundtrack)]] is, in my opinion, one of the best, if not THE best of compositions created for the second season, which just gives me another reason to be interested in Rhûnnic and Rhûn itself. Which makes me think of:<br /> <br /> ===Soundtracks===<br /> <br /> The best compositions from the first season are in my opinion [[True Creation Requires Sacrifice]], [[Where the Shadows Lie]] (featuring [[Fiona Apple]]) and [[Nolwa Mahtar]]. And finally, both the soundtrack of [[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|''The Lord of the Rings'']] and [[The Hobbit (film series)|''The Hobbit'']] are awesome as a whole.<br /> <br /> ==My conlangs==<br /> <br /> If you'd like to learn more about my conlangs such as their names, scripts, some words and more, feel free to DM me on discord: '''''@General_Rizoto'''''</div>

It was fought beneath the [[Great Gates|East-gate of Moria]] in the valley of Azanulbizar, called ''[[Nanduhirion]]'' in [[Sindarin]]. Therefore the event is also known as the '''Battle of Nanduhirion''' and sometimes the '''Battle of the Mines of Moria'''.<br /> <br /> ==Prelude==<br /> The War of the Dwarves and Orcs began when [[Azog]] the [[Orcs|Orc]]-chieftain of [[Moria]] captured and mutilated [[Thrór]], King of [[Durin's Folk]]. Azog branded his own name in runes onto Thrór's severed head, then let Thrór's companion [[Nár]] escape so that all [[Dwarves]] would know that an Orc now ruled Moria. Full of righteous fury, Thrór's son [[Thráin|Thráin II]] summoned a great army of Dwarves, including those not of Durin's Folk ([[Firebeards]] and [[Broadbeams]] from the [[Blue Mountains]], and others from the far East of Middle-earth). For six years they systematically sacked the Orc strongholds of the [[Misty Mountains]], until only Moria was left. There the Orcs that had survived the destruction had gathered to Azog.<br /> <br /> ==Battle==<br /> [[File:Jacek Kopalski - Náin at Azanulbizar.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Náin]] at [[Azanulbizar]]'' by [[:Category:Images by Jacek Kopalski|Jacek Kopalski]]]]<br /> The battle began on a dark winter day, and no sun was said to have shined through the clouds. The Dwarves had marched into the Dimrill Dale where they found the East-Gate and sent up a great noise. They discovered that on the western slopes above thousands of Orcs had gathered, while more still came pouring out of the gate. The Dwarves there stood outnumbered and on the lower end of a sloping hill. <br /> <br /> The first Vanguard led by King Thráin, assaulted the slopes only to be driven back with casualties. In a woods near the Mirrormere, the dwarves noted that [[Frerin]], youngest son of Thráin was slain along with [[Fundin]], father of [[Balin]]; and many others. Thraín himself was wounded, as was his eldest son [[Thorin|Thorin II Oakenshield]], whose shield was broken during the battle, forcing him to resort to using an oak branch that he cut off a tree to defend himself. <br /> <br /> Elsewhere, the battle swayed back and forth until [[Náin (son of Grór)|Náin]] from the [[Iron Hills]] arrived with a contingent of fresh troops. Náin and his Dwarves cut through the Orc lines with their [[mattocks]] shouting, "AZOG! AZOG! AZOG!" until they had reached the steps of the gate, at which Naín called Azog to come out and fight. When Azog emerged from the inner gate with his guards, Náin was exhausted and half blind with rage. He tried to swing as hard as he could, but Azog darted aside and Náin missed, splintering his mattock on the stone. The orc kicked him in the leg when he dodged the Dwarf's blow, making him stumble, at which point Azog attempted to hew his neck with a swing, succeeding only in breaking Náin's neck because of the strong mail he was wearing. Náin died instantly.<br /> <br /> Even as Azog gloated over his duel, he looked out over the valley which the east gate overlooks, and came to the realization that his entire force was routed. Those that could were fleeing southwards, and all his guard was dead. With that he fled back to the gate. Náin's son, [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin]], leaped up the steps after him with his red axe, and there before the gate he decapitated the Orc chieftain, thus ending the battle. <br /> The slaying of Azog was considered a great feat, as Dáin was only 32 years of age (very young for a Dwarf). Dáin would later become [[King under the Mountain]] as [[Dáin Ironfoot|Dáin II Ironfoot]].<ref name="AppDurin" /><br /> <br /> Azog's head was then impaled on a pike, and bag of coins he had thrown at Nàr years before was stuffed in his mouth.<br /> <br /> ==Aftermath==<br /> [[File:Steamey - Vengeance.jpg|thumb|''Vengeance'' by [[:Category:Images by Steamey|Steamey]]]]<br /> The Dwarves were victorious, but half of their forces were dead or mortally wounded. The Orcs suffered even worse casualties, with ten thousand dead. After the battle, Thráin wanted to enter and reclaim Moria, the ancestral home of Durin's folk. However, due to their losses, the other Houses not willing to participate, and since Dáin had seen [[Durin's Bane]] beyond the East-gate, Thráin refrained from entering.<ref name="AppDurin" /><br /> <br /> The Dwarves stripped their dead so the Orcs could not plunder them, and cut down all the trees in the valley, which was to remain bare ever after. They made many pyres on which to burn their dead. They could not bury them all in tombs of stone, as was their custom, because it would take too long. From then on those that died in Dimrill Dale were remembered proudly as [[burned Dwarves]].<ref name="Burned">{{App|Durin}}, footnote to page 348-9</ref><br /> <br /> The Houses parted ways, returning to their homes to the North, East, and West. Thráin, with what was left of the Longbeard contingent, went back to [[Dunland]] and wandered in [[Eriador]], eventually settling in the Southern Blue Mountains. There Durin's folk repopulated slowly, waiting for the day when they could take back the halls of [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]] and Khazad-dum.<ref name="AppDurin" /><br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> '''2012: ''[[The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey]]'':'''<br /> <br /> :Referred to as the '''Battle of [[Moria]]''' in this [[The Hobbit (film series)|film trilogy]] (and portrayed more as an isolated battle rather than the final conflict for an entire war), the battle is presented in a flashback sequence as [[Balin]] recounts [[Thorin]]'s past to [[Bilbo Baggins]]. The narrative of the battle has been heavily condensed. In the film version, rather than recounting Thrór's death at the hands of [[Azog]] and the resulting war of many years, Balin simply says that after [[Smaug]] drove the [[Dwarves of Erebor|Dwarves]] from [[Lonely Mountain|Erebor]], Thrór attempted to lead all of his people back to their ancestral realm in Moria, only to find that the [[Orcs]] had gotten there first. [[Azog]] does decapitate [[Thrór]], but the deed takes place during the battle itself, and the head is thrown at Thorin's feet rather than [[Nár]]'s. Balin similarly condenses [[Thráin]]'s story, stating that he went mad with grief and wandered away, and his people never knew if he was dead or captured. [[Dáin Ironfoot]] is completely absent from the story, and it is Thorin who rallies the dwarves by facing Azog in single combat and hacking off his left arm at the elbow. The wounded Azog is dragged back into Moria by his subordinates, and the Dwarves assume he has died of his injuries, but he survives to appear in a present-time sub-plot in which he is hunting Thorin and Company for revenge. No mention is made of the burning of the Dwarves' dead, but Balin, [[Dwalin]], [[Bifur]], and Thorin are seen in the aftermath of the battle walking amidst heaps of their slain kin, and Balin recalls the battle as a pyrrhic victory, and the number of dead as beyond the count of grief, echoing closely the wording of the account from [[Appendix A]] of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.<br /> <br /> '''2021: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br /> :Azanulbizar during and immediately after the battle is featured as a flashback-style location. The story of the region is framed as reading the written recollections of the veteran "Hermáth Stormhammer", a close friend of [[Dáin Ironfoot]], to relive the battle from his point of view.<br /> <br /> :King Thráin instructs the kings of the other six Houses to secure the borders of the Dale, including the slopes of [[Celebdil|Zirakzigil]] and [[Fanuidhol|Bundushathûr]], to deny Azog's forces the high ground and slay any Orcs that attempt to flee. The [[Dwarves of the Iron Hills]] are present from the beginning, but held in reserve until, as in the books, they enter the battle to assist Thráin's vanguard.<br /> <br /> {{references}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Conflicts of the Third Age]]<br /> [[de:Schlacht von Azanulbizar]]<br /> [[fr:encyclo:evenements:3a:guerres:bataille d azanulbizar]]<br /> [[fi:Azanulbizarin taistelu]]</div>

Almost nothing of the lands beyond the great [[Sea of Rhûn]] is known (see [[Land of the Sun|Uttermost East]]).<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The first Elves awoke far east of the Sea of Rhûn, and many of them were led to the [[Westlands]] by [[Oromë]]. Some Elves forsook this [[Great Journey]] and chose to remain in Rhûn; they were called the [[Avari]]. Eventually some of the Avari would also migrate West.<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 53</ref><ref>{{WJ|Author}}, note 9</ref><br /> <br /> The first Men also awoke in the far east, where they first met [[Dwarves]]<ref>{{WJ|Dwarves}}</ref> and Avari. The ancestors of the [[Edain]] and [[Drúedain]] traveled west out of Rhûn. At the shores of the Sea of Rhûn, some of the Mannish tribes traveling west separated and their languages soon diverged.<ref>{{PM|Ros}}, pp. 373-374</ref> Other men remained in Rhûn, and many of them came under the dominion of [[Morgoth]] and, later, [[Sauron]]. These men were called [[Easterlings]], and they led many attacks against [[Gondor]] and its allies during the [[Third Age]].<br /> <br /> In the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]]s the [[Blue Wizards]] went into the deep regions of Rhûn, never to return.<ref name="PMLast">{{PM|Last}}, pp. 384-85</ref> [[Saruman]] may have joined them before returning and occupying [[Isengard]]. During the [[Watchful Peace]], [[Sauron]] went to hiding in Rhûn for 400 years and gathered the Easterlings to his service; the Blue Wizards failed to discover his eastern stronghold.<ref name="PMLast"/><br /> <br /> The most western parts of Rhûn were conquered by Gondor twice, under the Kings [[Rómendacil I]] and [[Rómendacil II]], but the Númenóreans never had full control over it. Western Rhûn was finally subdued in the [[Fourth Age]] under [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] and his son [[Eldarion]].<ref>{{App|Eorl}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> [[File:Stefano Baldo - Rhûn.jpg|thumb|left|''Rhûn'' by Stefano Baldo]]<br /> Rhûn was a wide land largely unknown to those who dwelled in the western regions, and little of its geography was recorded. The western part of Rhûn was given in maps of the [[Westlands]] of Middle-earth. It contained the great inland [[Sea of Rhûn]], connected to the [[River Running]] in the northwest. A forest lay to the north-east of the Sea, and near the south-western shores there were many hills. Wild white [[Kine of Araw]], or oxen, lived near the shores of the Sea of Rhûn. North-west of the Sea of Rhûn lay also the land of [[Dorwinion]]. <br /> <br /> [[Cuiviénen]], the land where the first [[Elves]] [[awakening of the Elves|awoke]], was a 450 mile march east or south-east of the Sea of Rhûn.<ref>{{NM|P1vi}}, p. 38</ref> It lay on the shores of a bay at the inland [[Sea of Helcar]]'s eastern end, near the feet of the [[Orocarni]] (Red Mountains).<ref name=Captivity /> The [[Wild Wood]], the ancient and mythical forest where the Elves wondered at their first Dawn,<ref>{{TT|Uruk}}</ref> was located near Cuiviénen and the Orocarni.<ref name=Captivity /><ref name=Guide /><ref name=Atlas /> Far east of Cuiviénen lay [[Hildórien]], the land where the first Men awoke.<ref name=Men /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Rhûn icon.png|thumb|right|200px|Emblem of the Kingdom of Rhûn, one of the many lands of the [[Easterlings]] east of the [[Sea of Rhûn]]]]<br /> <br /> Four [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] clans were also located in Rhûn;<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|301}} their mansions were at least as far east of [[Mount Gundabad]] as Mount Gundabad was east of the [[Blue Mountains]].<br /> <br /> Far south of the Sea of Helcar was once another inland sea, the [[Sea of Ringil]], which lay at the feet of the [[Yellow Mountains]]. In the [[Battle of the Powers]], the Sea of Ringil "became a great sea flowing north-eastward and joining by straits both the Western and Eastern Seas"; it submerged the Yellow Mountains and split Middle-earth from a newly formed continent, the [[Dark Land]].<ref>{{SM|5b}}, pp. 293-294</ref><ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref> <br /> <br /> At its easternmost extent, Middle-earth ended on the shores of the [[East Sea]].<ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref><br /> <br /> ===Dwarves of Rhûn===<br /> [[Dwarves]] emerged in Middle-earth in the [[Years of the Trees]]; after Elves but before Men. When the [[Fathers of the Dwarves|Seven Fathers of the Dwarves]] awoke in far-flung corners of Middle-earth, some of them found themselves in Rhûn, and there they founded kingdoms in the [[East]]. In the First Age, it is said that some [[Men]] had met Dwarves of the [[East]] who had fallen under the [[Shadow]] and were of evil mind and were distrustful of their race.<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|323 n.28}}<br /> <br /> The distance between their mansions in the East and the [[Misty Mountains]], specifically [[Gundabad]], was said to be as great or greater than that of Gundabad's distance from the [[Blue Mountains]] in the West. These four clans are the [[Ironfists]], [[Stiffbeards]], [[Blacklocks]] and [[Stonefoots]].<ref name=Dwarves>{{PM|X}}</ref>{{rp|301, 322}}<br /> <br /> In the [[Third Age]], Dwarves of those kingdoms journeyed out of Rhûn to join all Middle-earth's other Dwarf clans in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]], which was fought in and under the [[Misty Mountains]]. After this war, the survivors returned home. Late in the Third Age, when war and terror grew in Rhûn itself, considerable numbers of its Dwarves left their ancient homelands. They sought refuge in Middle-earth's western lands, where some of them met [[Frodo Baggins]].<ref>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The word '''''Rhûn''''' means "East" in [[Sindarin]]. Compare [[Quenya]] ''[[rómen]]''.<ref>{{App|E2i}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> When asked in an interview what lay east of Rhûn, Tolkien replied "Rhûn is the Elvish word for 'east'.

Almost nothing of the lands beyond the great [[Sea of Rhûn]] is known (see [[Land of the Sun|Uttermost East]]).<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The first Elves awoke far east of the Sea of Rhûn, and many of them were led to the [[Westlands]] by [[Oromë]]. Some Elves forsook this [[Great Journey]] and chose to remain in Rhûn; they were called the [[Avari]]. Eventually some of the Avari would also migrate West.<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 53</ref><ref>{{WJ|Author}}, note 9</ref><br /> <br /> The first Men also awoke in the far east, where they first met [[Dwarves]]<ref>{{WJ|Dwarves}}</ref> and Avari. The ancestors of the [[Edain]] and [[Drúedain]] traveled west out of Rhûn. At the shores of the Sea of Rhûn, some of the Mannish tribes traveling west separated and their languages soon diverged.<ref>{{PM|Ros}}, pp. 373-374</ref> Other men remained in Rhûn, and many of them came under the dominion of [[Morgoth]] and, later, [[Sauron]]. These men were called [[Easterlings]], and they led many attacks against [[Gondor]] and its allies during the [[Third Age]].<br /> <br /> In the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]]s the [[Blue Wizards]] went into the deep regions of Rhûn, never to return.<ref name="PMLast">{{PM|Last}}, pp. 384-85</ref> [[Saruman]] may have joined them before returning and occupying [[Isengard]]. During the [[Watchful Peace]], [[Sauron]] went to hiding in Rhûn for 400 years and gathered the Easterlings to his service; the Blue Wizards failed to discover his eastern stronghold.<ref name="PMLast"/><br /> <br /> The most western parts of Rhûn were conquered by Gondor twice, under the Kings [[Rómendacil I]] and [[Rómendacil II]], but the Númenóreans never had full control over it. Western Rhûn was finally subdued in the [[Fourth Age]] under [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] and his son [[Eldarion]].<ref>{{App|Eorl}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> [[File:Stefano Baldo - Rhûn.jpg|thumb|left|''Rhûn'' by Stefano Baldo]]<br /> Rhûn was a wide land largely unknown to those who dwelled in the western regions, and little of its geography was recorded. The western part of Rhûn was given in maps of the [[Westlands]] of Middle-earth. It contained the great inland [[Sea of Rhûn]], connected to the [[River Running]] in the northwest. A forest lay to the north-east of the Sea, and near the south-western shores there were many hills. Wild white [[Kine of Araw]], or oxen, lived near the shores of the Sea of Rhûn. North-west of the Sea of Rhûn lay also the land of [[Dorwinion]]. <br /> <br /> [[Cuiviénen]], the land where the first [[Elves]] [[awakening of the Elves|awoke]], was a 450 mile march east or south-east of the Sea of Rhûn.<ref>{{NM|P1vi}}, p. 38</ref> It lay on the shores of a bay at the inland [[Sea of Helcar]]'s eastern end, near the feet of the [[Orocarni]] (Red Mountains).<ref name=Captivity /> The [[Wild Wood]], the ancient and mythical forest where the Elves wondered at their first Dawn,<ref>{{TT|Uruk}}</ref> was located near Cuiviénen and the Orocarni.<ref name=Captivity /><ref name=Guide /><ref name=Atlas /> Far east of Cuiviénen lay [[Hildórien]], the land where the first Men awoke.<ref name=Men /> <br /> <br /> [[File:Rhûn icon.png|thumb|right|200px|Emblem of the Kingdom of Rhûn, one of the many lands of the [[Easterlings]] east of the [[Sea of Rhûn]]]]<br /> <br /> <br /> Four [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] clans were also located in Rhûn;<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|301}} their mansions were at least as far east of [[Mount Gundabad]] as Mount Gundabad was east of the [[Blue Mountains]].<br /> <br /> Far south of the Sea of Helcar was once another inland sea, the [[Sea of Ringil]], which lay at the feet of the [[Yellow Mountains]]. In the [[Battle of the Powers]], the Sea of Ringil "became a great sea flowing north-eastward and joining by straits both the Western and Eastern Seas"; it submerged the Yellow Mountains and split Middle-earth from a newly formed continent, the [[Dark Land]].<ref>{{SM|5b}}, pp. 293-294</ref><ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref> <br /> <br /> At its easternmost extent, Middle-earth ended on the shores of the [[East Sea]].<ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref><br /> <br /> ===Dwarves of Rhûn===<br /> [[Dwarves]] emerged in Middle-earth in the [[Years of the Trees]]; after Elves but before Men. When the [[Fathers of the Dwarves|Seven Fathers of the Dwarves]] awoke in far-flung corners of Middle-earth, some of them found themselves in Rhûn, and there they founded kingdoms in the [[East]]. In the First Age, it is said that some [[Men]] had met Dwarves of the [[East]] who had fallen under the [[Shadow]] and were of evil mind and were distrustful of their race.<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|323 n.28}}<br /> <br /> The distance between their mansions in the East and the [[Misty Mountains]], specifically [[Gundabad]], was said to be as great or greater than that of Gundabad's distance from the [[Blue Mountains]] in the West. These four clans are the [[Ironfists]], [[Stiffbeards]], [[Blacklocks]] and [[Stonefoots]].<ref name=Dwarves>{{PM|X}}</ref>{{rp|301, 322}}<br /> <br /> In the [[Third Age]], Dwarves of those kingdoms journeyed out of Rhûn to join all Middle-earth's other Dwarf clans in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]], which was fought in and under the [[Misty Mountains]]. After this war, the survivors returned home. Late in the Third Age, when war and terror grew in Rhûn itself, considerable numbers of its Dwarves left their ancient homelands. They sought refuge in Middle-earth's western lands, where some of them met [[Frodo Baggins]].<ref>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The word '''''Rhûn''''' means "East" in [[Sindarin]]. Compare [[Quenya]] ''[[rómen]]''.<ref>{{App|E2i}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> When asked in an interview what lay east of Rhûn, Tolkien replied "Rhûn is the Elvish word for 'east'. Asia, China, Japan, and all things which people in the west regard as far away."<ref>{{webcite|author=Henry Resnick|articleurl=https://efanzines.com/Niekas/Niekas-18.pdf|articlename=An Interview with Tolkien|dated=2 March 1966|website=Niekas Volume 18 (archived on eFanzines.com)|accessed=27 September 2022}}, p. 41</ref><br /> <br /> In the earliest drafts of ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Bilbo offered to walk from the [[The Shire|Shire]] "to ''[cancelled: [[Wikipedia:Hindu Kush|Hindu Kush]]]'' the [[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|Great Desert of Gobi]] and fight the Wild Wire worm(s) of the [[Wikipedia:China|Chinese]]."<ref>{{HH|Pryftan}}, p. 9</ref> In a slightly later version [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] altered this to say "to the last desert in the East and fight the Wild Wireworms of the Chinese",<ref>{{HH|Bladorthin}}, p. 40</ref> and in the final version it was altered once more to say "to the East of East and fight the wild [[Were-worms]] in the [[Last Desert]]."<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Other versions of the legendarium==<br /> In a [[1948]] note on his ''[[General Map of Middle-earth]]'', [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] drew an arrow from the [[River Running]] with the direction to the end of the map, and carries the note: "''To '''Sea of Rûnaer'''''. [[Wayne G. Hammond|Hammond]] and [[Christina Scull|Scull]] suggest that ''Rûnaer'' is likely an alternative name of ''Rhûn''.<ref>{{HM|AoL}}, p. 199</ref><br /> <br /> Also in these early draft maps for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Tolkien indicated that ''[[Neldoreth (Rhûn)|Neldoreth]]'' was the name of the forest bordering the Sea of Rhûn's north-eastern shore. This forest went unnamed in later maps.<ref>{{TI|MII}}, p. 307</ref><br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> As the general direction of the [[West]] was revered by the [[Gondorians]],<ref>{{TT|Window}}</ref> conversely the East had evil connotations in some contexts as it was where [[Mordor]] lay; the people of Gondor endured the east wind but do not ask it for tidings, because it came from the "[[Sauron|Evil in the East]]".<ref>{{TT|III1}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> '''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br /> :On the [[25 March]], the day when [[The One Ring]] was destroyed, an unknown calamity took place in Rhûn. In the weeks afterwards, streams of refugees begin pouring into the [[Iron Hills]] and the [[Dale]]-lands, despite those places having waged a war against the [[Easterlings]] not a full month before. The refugees are willing to take their chances against the prejudice and outward hostility directed against them from the men and dwarves of those lands, but none of them would speak in detail about what exactly had happened in Rhûn, other than it is absolutely impossible for them to go back. As of 2023, Rhûn itself has not appeared in the game.<br /> <br /> '''2024: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]'':'''<br /> :In the second season of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]'', [[Elanor Brandyfoot]], [[Poppy Proudfellow]] and [[The Stranger]] venture into Rhûn, where they are pursued by the [[Gaudrim]].

Almost nothing of the lands beyond the great [[Sea of Rhûn]] is known (see [[Land of the Sun|Uttermost East]]).<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The first Elves awoke far east of the Sea of Rhûn, and many of them were led to the [[Westlands]] by [[Oromë]]. Some Elves forsook this [[Great Journey]] and chose to remain in Rhûn; they were called the [[Avari]]. Eventually some of the Avari would also migrate West.<ref>{{PE|17}}, p. 53</ref><ref>{{WJ|Author}}, note 9</ref><br /> <br /> The first Men also awoke in the far east, where they first met [[Dwarves]]<ref>{{WJ|Dwarves}}</ref> and Avari. The ancestors of the [[Edain]] and [[Drúedain]] traveled west out of Rhûn. At the shores of the Sea of Rhûn, some of the Mannish tribes traveling west separated and their languages soon diverged.<ref>{{PM|Ros}}, pp. 373-374</ref> Other men remained in Rhûn, and many of them came under the dominion of [[Morgoth]] and, later, [[Sauron]]. These men were called [[Easterlings]], and they led many attacks against [[Gondor]] and its allies during the [[Third Age]].<br /> <br /> In the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]]s the [[Blue Wizards]] went into the deep regions of Rhûn, never to return.<ref name="PMLast">{{PM|Last}}, pp. 384-85</ref> [[Saruman]] may have joined them before returning and occupying [[Isengard]]. During the [[Watchful Peace]], [[Sauron]] went to hiding in Rhûn for 400 years and gathered the Easterlings to his service; the Blue Wizards failed to discover his eastern stronghold.<ref name="PMLast"/><br /> <br /> The most western parts of Rhûn were conquered by Gondor twice, under the Kings [[Rómendacil I]] and [[Rómendacil II]], but the Númenóreans never had full control over it. Western Rhûn was finally subdued in the [[Fourth Age]] under [[Aragorn|King Elessar]] and his son [[Eldarion]].<ref>{{App|Eorl}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Geography==<br /> [[File:Stefano Baldo - Rhûn.jpg|thumb|left|''Rhûn'' by Stefano Baldo]]<br /> Rhûn was a wide land largely unknown to those who dwelled in the western regions, and little of its geography was recorded. The western part of Rhûn was given in maps of the [[Westlands]] of Middle-earth. It contained the great inland [[Sea of Rhûn]], connected to the [[River Running]] in the northwest. A forest lay to the north-east of the Sea, and near the south-western shores there were many hills. Wild white [[Kine of Araw]], or oxen, lived near the shores of the Sea of Rhûn. North-west of the Sea of Rhûn lay also the land of [[Dorwinion]]. <br /> <br /> [[Cuiviénen]], the land where the first [[Elves]] [[awakening of the Elves|awoke]], was a 450 mile march east or south-east of the Sea of Rhûn.<ref>{{NM|P1vi}}, p. 38</ref> It lay on the shores of a bay at the inland [[Sea of Helcar]]'s eastern end, near the feet of the [[Orocarni]] (Red Mountains).<ref name=Captivity /> The [[Wild Wood]], the ancient and mythical forest where the Elves wondered at their first Dawn,<ref>{{TT|Uruk}}</ref> was located near Cuiviénen and the Orocarni.<ref name=Captivity /><ref name=Guide /><ref name=Atlas /> Far east of Cuiviénen lay [[Hildórien]], the land where the first Men awoke.<ref name=Men /> <br /> <br /> Four [[Dwarves|Dwarven]] clans were also located in Rhûn;<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|301}} their mansions were at least as far east of [[Mount Gundabad]] as Mount Gundabad was east of the [[Blue Mountains]]. <br /> <br /> Far south of the Sea of Helcar was once another inland sea, the [[Sea of Ringil]], which lay at the feet of the [[Yellow Mountains]]. In the [[Battle of the Powers]], the Sea of Ringil "became a great sea flowing north-eastward and joining by straits both the Western and Eastern Seas"; it submerged the Yellow Mountains and split Middle-earth from a newly formed continent, the [[Dark Land]].<ref>{{SM|5b}}, pp. 293-294</ref><ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref> <br /> <br /> At its easternmost extent, Middle-earth ended on the shores of the [[East Sea]].<ref name=AmbarV>{{SM|A5}}</ref> <br /> <br /> ===Dwarves of Rhûn===<br /> [[Dwarves]] emerged in Middle-earth in the [[Years of the Trees]]; after Elves but before Men. When the [[Fathers of the Dwarves|Seven Fathers of the Dwarves]] awoke in far-flung corners of Middle-earth, some of them found themselves in Rhûn, and there they founded kingdoms in the [[East]]. In the First Age, it is said that some [[Men]] had met Dwarves of the [[East]] who had fallen under the [[Shadow]] and were of evil mind and were distrustful of their race.<ref name=Dwarves />{{rp|323 n.28}}<br /> <br /> The distance between their mansions in the East and the [[Misty Mountains]], specifically [[Gundabad]], was said to be as great or greater than that of Gundabad's distance from the [[Blue Mountains]] in the West. These four clans are the [[Ironfists]], [[Stiffbeards]], [[Blacklocks]] and [[Stonefoots]].<ref name=Dwarves>{{PM|X}}</ref>{{rp|301, 322}}<br /> <br /> In the [[Third Age]], Dwarves of those kingdoms journeyed out of Rhûn to join all Middle-earth's other Dwarf clans in the [[War of the Dwarves and Orcs]], which was fought in and under the [[Misty Mountains]]. After this war, the survivors returned home. Late in the Third Age, when war and terror grew in Rhûn itself, considerable numbers of its Dwarves left their ancient homelands. They sought refuge in Middle-earth's western lands, where some of them met [[Frodo Baggins]].<ref>{{FR|Shadow}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Etymology==<br /> The word '''''Rhûn''''' means "East" in [[Sindarin]]. Compare [[Quenya]] ''[[rómen]]''.<ref>{{App|E2i}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Inspiration==<br /> When asked in an interview what lay east of Rhûn, Tolkien replied "Rhûn is the Elvish word for 'east'. Asia, China, Japan, and all things which people in the west regard as far away."<ref>{{webcite|author=Henry Resnick|articleurl=https://efanzines.com/Niekas/Niekas-18.pdf|articlename=An Interview with Tolkien|dated=2 March 1966|website=Niekas Volume 18 (archived on eFanzines.com)|accessed=27 September 2022}}, p. 41</ref><br /> <br /> In the earliest drafts of ''[[The Hobbit]]'', Bilbo offered to walk from the [[The Shire|Shire]] "to ''[cancelled: [[Wikipedia:Hindu Kush|Hindu Kush]]]'' the [[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|Great Desert of Gobi]] and fight the Wild Wire worm(s) of the [[Wikipedia:China|Chinese]]."<ref>{{HH|Pryftan}}, p. 9</ref> In a slightly later version [[J.R.R. Tolkien]] altered this to say "to the last desert in the East and fight the Wild Wireworms of the Chinese",<ref>{{HH|Bladorthin}}, p. 40</ref> and in the final version it was altered once more to say "to the East of East and fight the wild [[Were-worms]] in the [[Last Desert]]."<ref>{{H|Party}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Other versions of the legendarium==<br /> In a [[1948]] note on his ''[[General Map of Middle-earth]]'', [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] drew an arrow from the [[River Running]] with the direction to the end of the map, and carries the note: "''To '''Sea of Rûnaer'''''. [[Wayne G. Hammond|Hammond]] and [[Christina Scull|Scull]] suggest that ''Rûnaer'' is likely an alternative name of ''Rhûn''.<ref>{{HM|AoL}}, p. 199</ref><br /> <br /> Also in these early draft maps for ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Tolkien indicated that ''[[Neldoreth (Rhûn)|Neldoreth]]'' was the name of the forest bordering the Sea of Rhûn's north-eastern shore. This forest went unnamed in later maps.<ref>{{TI|MII}}, p. 307</ref><br /> <br /> ==Other notes==<br /> As the general direction of the [[West]] was revered by the [[Gondorians]],<ref>{{TT|Window}}</ref> conversely the East had evil connotations in some contexts as it was where [[Mordor]] lay; the people of Gondor endured the east wind but do not ask it for tidings, because it came from the "[[Sauron|Evil in the East]]".<ref>{{TT|III1}}</ref><br /> <br /> ==Portrayal in adaptations==<br /> '''2007: ''[[The Lord of the Rings Online]]'':'''<br /> :On the [[25 March]], the day when [[The One Ring]] was destroyed, an unknown calamity took place in Rhûn. In the weeks afterwards, streams of refugees begin pouring into the [[Iron Hills]] and the [[Dale]]-lands, despite those places having waged a war against the [[Easterlings]] not a full month before. The refugees are willing to take their chances against the prejudice and outward hostility directed against them from the men and dwarves of those lands, but none of them would speak in detail about what exactly had happened in Rhûn, other than it is absolutely impossible for them to go back. As of 2023, Rhûn itself has not appeared in the game.<br /> <br /> '''2024: ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]'':'''<br /> :In the second season of ''[[The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power]]'', [[Elanor Brandyfoot]], [[Poppy Proudfellow]] and [[The Stranger]] venture into Rhûn, where they are pursued by the [[Gaudrim]].
