The Capital of Cardolan - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tyrn Gorthad is the Sindarin name for The Barrow Downs, during the wars with Angmar, The Dunedain of Cardolan took refuge there, and it is thought that the barrow in which the hobbits were captured, was in fact that of the last prince of that realm. Thalion is the epithet of Hurin. Fornost was the second capital of Arnor, and in 861 TA the realm of Arnor was split in three. Arthedain, Rhudaur and Cardolan. Fornost remained in Arthedain, the capitals of the other two were never listed, however there are references to Amon Sul being in Cardolan, and both Bilbo and Frodo saw stone walls and crumbling towers in the area that was once Rhudaur.
