In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, Caras Galadhon (pronounced ) is a fictional city in his work ''The Lord of the Rings''. It appears mostly in ''The Fellowship of the Ring'', but it is also mentioned in the Appendices of ''The Return of the King''. Built deep in the Forest Realm of Lothlórien, the city was created in the middle of, on top of, and out of ''Mallorn'' trees brought to that land by Galadriel. Since it was built by Amroth in the Third Age, it quickly became the most populated place of Lothlórien and by the end of that age also became the most important settlement of the Galadhrim in Middle-earth. In the First Edition of ''The Lord of the Rings'', ''Caras Galadhon'' was spelled as ''Caras Galadon'', but the "h" was later added to distinguish the Sindarin root ''galad'' ("light") from ''galadh'' ("tree"). ==Names== As with the case of the forest surrounding it, Tolkien also gave the city several names: Outside of Lothlórien or any other Elven settlement, the Westron (Common Speech used by most Men and Hobbits during the Third Age) variant of Caras Galadhon, City of Trees, was also widely used amongst Men to talk about the city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caras Galadhon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
