Forodwaith
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Forodwaith was the name both of a region and the people that lived there.〔J.R.R. Tolkien, ''The Return of the King'', Houghton Mifflin., 1988 edition, Appendix A. 321-322.〕
==Geography==
The Sindarin name ''Forodwaith'' translates loosely as ''Northern Waste'' and literally as ''Northern Realm'', and was a name for the land north of the Iron Mountains of the First Age. Little was known of it, except that despite lying scarcely 100 leagues north of the Shire, it was an area of immense cold. This was due to its proximity to the Gap of Ilmen, and Morgoth's evil cold, which emanated, in ancient times, from his place of dwelling, and lingered still into the Third Age.
After the War of Wrath and the breaking of the World, the Iron Mountains were mostly destroyed, and the area of Forodwaith that lay north of Eriador became known as Forochel, together with the great ice-bay and cape that carried the same name.
