Ithilien

Location from The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

Gondor's lost garden — a once-beautiful region between the mountains and the river, now a contested borderland where Faramir's rangers wage a guerrilla war against Mordor's forces.

Also known as: Ithilien, the Garden of Gondor, South Ithilien, North Ithilien
