Puhtatel

Puhtatel is a fictional place mentioned in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It is described as a settlement or region within the land of Rohan. Little specific detail is provided about Puhtatel in the published texts, but its name suggests a connection to the Rohirrim, the horse-lords of Rohan. The name itself is likely of Old English origin, reflecting Tolkien's linguistic influences in constructing his mythology. Its exact geographical location within Rohan remains unspecified, and it does not play a significant role in the main narratives of The Lord of the Rings. References to Puhtatel are typically found in appendices or more obscure lore concerning the history and geography of Middle-earth. The character of Éowyn, a prominent shieldmaiden of Rohan, is sometimes associated with lands that might encompass or be near Puhtatel, though this is not explicitly stated. Its presence in Tolkien's writings serves to further flesh out the detailed world-building of Rohan, adding to the sense of a lived-in and historically rich land, even for minor locations.
