Emyn Gost

The Haunted Hills

Hauntedhills gondor

The Emyn Gost (S."Haunted hills"), were a sinister and desolate range of hills in the southern reaches of Middle-earth, forming part of the foothills of the Ered Nimrais. These hills separated Nan-i-Faroth from the shadowed regions of Umb Estelwain, Udul, and Arnand. Long shunned by travelers, the Emyn Gost were steeped in dread due to their association with the Oathbreakers, the cursed Men of the Ered Nimrais who betrayed their sworn allegiance to Isildur during the War of the Last Alliance. Their lingering spirits were said to haunt the hills, casting a pall of terror over the land and ensuring that few dared to venture into their shadow.
