Nan Elmoth

[dawn_felagund]

In the wood of Nan Elmoth, the love of Thingol and Melian changed the fate of Middle-earth. Now a second marriage kindled in the enchanted shadows will become both a blessing and a curse for the Noldor.

In that wood in ages past Melian walked in the twilight of Middle-earth when the trees were young, and enchantment lay upon it still. But now the trees of Nan Elmoth were the tallest and darkest in all Beleriand, and there the sun never came; and there Eöl dwelt, who was named the Dark Elf. Of old he was of the kin of Thingol, but he was restless and ill at ease in Doriath, and when the Girdle of Melian was set about the Forest of Region where he dwelt he fled thence to Nan Elmoth. There he lived in deep shadow, loving the night and the twilight under the stars.

Yes, that forest sees both the best and the worst of enchantments.
