Holran
Holran is a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is not a prominent or extensively described place within the narrative. Its significance is primarily as a point of reference or a brief mention in the context of travel or geographical descriptions. In "The Hobbit," Holran is listed as one of the settlements or regions in the wider world outside of the Shire, where Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves embark on their journey. It is generally understood to be a place that lies in a region that is not frequently visited or of immediate concern to the main characters' quest. The exact location and nature of Holran are not detailed, leaving it to the reader's imagination as part of the broader, more mysterious world Tolkien created. Its inclusion serves to give a sense of scale and depth to the geography of Middle-earth, even for places that do not play a direct role in the story's events.
