Fangorn
Fangorn (Sindarin: (); ''"Beardtree"'') in J.R.R. Tolkien's ''Legendarium'', was a forest located in the fictional world of Middle-earth and was the home of the tree shepherds, the Ents. It was named after the oldest Ent, Treebeard or Treebeard after it. Tolkien did, however, state that there was confusion about the two. The Forest of Fangorn provided an important role in ''The Lord of the Rings'' novel as did Mirkwood and Lothlórien in the Third Age, a time when Sauron challenged Middle-earth to battle and domination. The forest provided the means by where adventure expanded with the breaking up of the Fellowship. Merry Brandybuck and Peregrin Took were the first to discover the Ents were alive but were dwindling in numbers due to the loss of the Entwives. They were lost because of the events of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. The forest was again severely damaged during the War of the Ring by the forces of Saruman who lived close by in the fortress of Isengard.
==Etymology==
"Fangorn" was the original name for the Ent Treebeard, who was the eldest of his species and who looked after vast areas of his home and the surrounding land which was named Fangorn Forest. Additionally, Fangorn translated in the fictional language of Sindarin from "fanga" meaning "beard" and "orne" meaning "tree". Sindarin was a language Tolkien created and described the Elves of Middle-Earth to possess; who "awoke" the Ents and taught them language. In other parts of Middle-earth Fangorn Forest was called the "Entwood" by the Rohirrim.
Fangorn Forest apparently had several names as told by Treebeard who referred to the forest by various Quenya names in ''Lord of the Rings'', some of which were ''Ambaróna'', ''Tauremornalómë'', ''Tauremorna'' and ''Aldalómë''. ''"Ambaróna"'' means "uprising, sunrise, orient" from ''"amba"'' meaning "upwards" and ''"róna"'' meaning "east". ''"Aldalómë"'' means "tree twilight" from ''"alda"'' meaning "tree" and ''"lómë"'' meaning "dusk, twilight". ''"Tauremorna"'' means "gloomy forest" from ''"taur"'' meaning "forest" and ''"morna"'' meaning "gloomy, somber".〔 ''"Tauremornalómë"'' means "gloomy twilight forest".
