latexivabad

Latexivabad is a fictional settlement appearing in the works of author J. R. R. Tolkien. It is not a place with a real-world geographical location or historical existence. Within Tolkien's legendarium, the name "Latexivabad" is mentioned in relation to the history of the Men of the East, also known as the Easterlings. These peoples were various human tribes who lived to the east of the region of Rhovanion and the Misty Mountains.

The specific details surrounding Latexivabad are scarce and often appear in fragmented or less prominent texts within Tolkien's vast body of work. It is understood to be a settlement or stronghold associated with one of these Easterling groups, possibly during periods of conflict or interaction with the kingdoms of the West, such as Gondor. The name itself has a somewhat harsh or foreign sound, consistent with Tolkien's linguistic approach to differentiating various peoples.

While Latexivabad does not feature prominently in the main narratives like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, its mention contributes to the broader tapestry of Middle-earth's history, particularly concerning the diverse human populations and their ancient interactions. Scholars and enthusiasts of Tolkien's work often cross-reference various texts to piece together the context and significance of such less-detailed locations.
