Ithilien
Ithilien appears in The Lord of the Rings.
Ithilien, the lush and once-prosperous woodland realm east of the Anduin, stands as a contested borderland ravaged by Mordor's encroaching shadow across The Lord of the Rings. In The Two Towers, it serves as a vital staging ground for guerrilla warfare by the Rangers of Ithilien, highlighting its strategic refuges amid blooming beauty. By The Return of the King, Ithilien's hidden caves like Henneth Annûn shelter key figures such as Faramir and Frodo, underscoring its role in the desperate defense against Sauron's forces before its eventual liberation.
