The Village of Darnibaurg

Tarneburg or older Darnibaurg (Rh."Hidden Burg") was a small Woodman Village near the western Borders of central Mirkwood a few leagues southwarts of Woodmen-Town.

Boromir: "Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing!"
- J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring II:10


Etymology[]

The original form Burh Darni' was based on old english Burh and gothic Darnia ("to Cover" "to Hide"), Tarneburg and Darnibaurg are the logical old frankish and latinized meso-gothic spellings which would have been used around TA 1640 or later after TA 1977.
