=== Mirkwood ===
'''Mirkwood''' was a large forest in [[Rhovanion]]. Originally it was known as '''Greenwood the Great''' (Sindarin: ''Eryn Galen'').
In the Second Age an Elven people settled in the Greenwood, founding the '''Woodland Realm''', with its capital on the hill '''Amon Lanc'''. After the end of the Second Age, the Elves retreated further north. In the 11th century of the Third Age, Sauron established himself in the hill-fortress of '''Dol Guldur''' on Amon Lanc in the south of the forest. His evil influence darkened the woods, although it lessened towards the north; afterwards the forest became known as ''Mirkwood''. After the War of the Ring the forest was cleared of Sauron's influence and became known as '''Eryn Lasgalen''' (Sindarin: "Wood of Greenleaves").
