Dagorthond

One of the rarest and most treasured herbs in all of Middleearth, soldier’s root is a small, stringy plant whose stem and leaf are no larger than a clover. The plant’s orange, pulpy root is greatly valued for its ability to lend strength to those who eat it. It is known as dagorthond (‘battle-root’) among the Elves at Imladris. Location: Among the rocks alongside the Loudwater near Rivendell.
