Bosque Escuro: Diferenzas entre revisións

 

In ''[[The Hobbit]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', and associated writings, an expansive forest named ''Mirkwood'' was located in [[Rhovanion]], east of the [[Anduin]] in [[Middle-earth]]. In this instance, the name is supposedly a translation of an unknown [[Westron]] name. Within the forest was the Woodland Realm, a kingdom of [[Silvan Elves|Silvan]] [[Elf (Middle-earth)|Elven]] ruled by the Sindarin lord, [[Thranduil]], who established his halls around the Second Age, 1000, when Mirkwood was still known as '''Greenwood the Great''' (''Eryn Galen'').<ref>Robert Foster, ''A Guide to Middle Earth'', NY:Ballantine Books (Random House), 1971, p. 251</ref> Around the year 1050 of the [[Third Age]], when a 'the shadow of [[Dol Guldur]]' fell upon it, and men began to call it ''Taur-nu-Fuin'' and ''Taur-e-Ndaedelos'' (Sindarin: ''forest of great fear'').<ref>Robert Foster, ''A Guide to Middle Earth'', NY:Ballantine Books (Random House), 1971, p. 174</ref> The shadow was the power of Sauron, who under a concealed identity established himself at the hill-fortress of Dol Guldur on ''Amon Lanc''. The presence of Sauron's minions drove Thranduil and his people further northward, so that by the end of the [[Third Age]] they were a diminished and wary people who had entrenched themselves beyond the ''Mountains of Mirkwood'' (''Emyn Fuin'', formerly the ''Emyn Duir'' or "Dark Mountains"). The ''[[Old Forest Road]]'' or ''Old [[Dwarf (Middle-earth)|Dwarf]] Road'' crossed the forest east to west, but due to its relative proximity to Dol Guldur, the road was mostly unusable. The [[Elf (Middle-earth)|Elves]] made a path farther to the north, which ended somewhere in the marshes south of the [[Long Lake (Middle-earth)|Long Lake]] of [[Esgaroth]].
