Tol Lammenfirith

About ten miles north of Caras Celairnen, still within the bounds of the swamps between the lower Uialduin and the Lhun, stood the monastery of 'Tol Lammenfirith (S. "Muted-voice Isle"). The monastery was located on a tree-covered island boasting a watch-tower built sufficiently high on a pile of ancient rubble to be visible from the town. The isolated house sheltered an order of monkish scholars dedicated to collecting Arthadan books and documents. Their purpose was to gather as much material as possible before the fall of the realm, which they felt would come.
