The Coldfells was a region in northern Eriador, on the foothills of the Misty Mountains.
History
In Third Age 2930, hill-trolls from the Coldfells took captive Arador, Chieftain of the Dúnedain, and slew him. Arador's son Arathorn II succeeded him, one year before the birth of the last Chieftain.[1]
Location
The location of the Trollfells is never specified beyond "north of Rivendell"[1], as it is not mentioned on any map (or anywhere else, for that matter). Circumstantial evidence suggests the Coldfells were near to or synonymous with the Ettenmoors, which is described as "the troll-fells north of Rivendell".[2]
