    Tips

    March 10, 2025

    Lord of the Rings film location, for the prologue to The Fellowship of the Ring.
    The Gladden Fields (Sindarin "Loeg Ningloron") were a series of marshy paddocks at the confluence of the rivers Gladden and Anduin. An important geographical location in the history of the One Ring. It was here that Isildur was ambushed by Orcs in year 2 (TA) on his way to reconquer the northern kingdom of Arnor. He attempted to escape, but the One Ring betrayed him when it slipped from his finger. In later years, a group of Hobbits settled in the area, which eventually led to the rediscovery of the One Ring by Déagol (cousin of Sméagol).
