Szénacélnak

Szénacélnak is a fictional location mentioned in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It appears within the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, specifically in the section detailing the history of the Dwarves. Szénacélnak is described as a deep and ancient Dwarf-city, carved into the roots of the mountains. Its name, in the Dwarvish language of Khuzdul, translates roughly to "Stone-home" or "Rock-dwelling." This suggests a place of great strength and permanence, characteristic of Dwarf-built settlements.

The text implies that Szénacélnak was one of the original realms founded by the Dwarves during the First Age of Middle-earth. While not as prominently featured as Moria or Erebor, its mention contributes to the rich tapestry of Dwarven history and their scattered kingdoms. Details about its rulers, inhabitants, or specific events that occurred there are scarce, leaving much to the imagination. It is understood to have been a place of considerable wealth and craftsmanship, reflecting the typical attributes of Dwarven civilization. Like many other Dwarf-cities, its ultimate fate is not explicitly stated, but it is generally presumed to have been abandoned or fallen into ruin over the long ages of Middle-earth. The name Szénacélnak serves to expand the understanding of the vast and complex world Tolkien created, hinting at a forgotten past filled with the endeavors of the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves and their descendants.
