patomyl

Patomyl is a fictional place mentioned in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically appearing in "The Silmarillion." It is described as a region located in the north of Middle-earth, within the vast and often desolate lands of Forodwaith. Forodwaith itself is generally characterized as a cold and sparsely populated area, lying beyond the northern reaches of the more familiar realms.

Within this frigid expanse, Patomyl is depicted as a desolate and windswept territory. Information regarding its specific features or inhabitants is scarce, as it is not a central location in Tolkien's narratives. Its primary significance lies in its geographical placement within the broader lore of Middle-earth, contributing to the sense of a vast and varied world. The name itself does not hold particular etymological meaning within Tolkien's constructed languages that has been widely expounded upon. Its mention serves to fill out the map of the world and to suggest areas that remained untamed and largely unknown.
