The Misty Mountains are named as part of the wider geography of Middle-earth, but this entry offers no further account of their role or history. They remain a distant landmark in the book’s broad map of the world.
Description
The Misty Mountains are a mountain range, but no specific peaks, terrain features, weather, or viewpoint are described here. Their name evokes cloud-veiled heights and a remote, imposing scale; further visual details should not be treated as established by this passage.
