Hisendar

Hisendar is a fictional location that appears in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is primarily referenced in his posthumously published collection of tales, Unfinished Tales. Hisendar is described as a mountain range in the northeastern part of Middle-earth. Its exact geographical placement within the broader Tolkienian map is not definitively established, but it is generally understood to be a significant natural barrier. The mountains are noted for their ruggedness and the presence of formidable peaks. While not a major setting for any of Tolkien's primary narratives, Hisendar serves as a geographical marker, contributing to the detailed world-building of his legendarium. Its name suggests a connection to ancient or lost places, fitting within the overall historical depth Tolkien sought to create. Few creatures or peoples are explicitly associated with Hisendar in the texts, leaving its internal landscape largely to the imagination. It exists as a place of wild, untamed nature within the wider continent.
