Enarenna

Enarenna is a fictional settlement within the world of Middle-earth, created by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is located in the northern region of Eriador, east of the Shire and north of the Weather Hills. Enarenna is not prominently featured in Tolkien's published works, but its existence is established in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings and in other posthumously published writings that detail the history and geography of Middle-earth.

The settlement is associated with the Dúnedain, the northern descendants of the Númenóreans. During the Third Age, when their kingdom had long fallen and their numbers dwindled, many Dúnedain lived as wanderers and rangers, protecting the free peoples of Eriador from the encroaching darkness. Enarenna served as one of their scattered strongholds or places of refuge. It was a place where the Rangers could rest, gather supplies, and plan their patrols against the forces of Angmar and other evils that threatened the land.

While details about its specific inhabitants or daily life are scarce, Enarenna represents a facet of the Dúnedain's enduring presence and their commitment to safeguarding the borders of civilization in a land that was gradually falling into ruin. Its name suggests a connection to the Elvish language, possibly hinting at a shared history or influence with the Elves who also inhabited Eriador. Enarenna embodies the quiet, often unseen, resistance against the forces of evil in the often-overlooked northern territories of Middle-earth.
