The Forsaken Inn
Can anyone help me out here? In Fellowship, Book I, a place called "the Forsaken Inn" is said to be a day's journey east of Bree. Aragorn and the Hobbits, of course, bypass it by journeying northeastward through the Midgewater Marshes toward Weathertop.
But back to the inn … does anyone know what led to its "forsakenness?" Did Tolkien write any back-story or notes regarding the inn in The History of Middle Earth, etc.? (Or am I just forgetting some further exposition in Rings?) As it stands in my mind now — a cryptic, one-time reference — the Forsaken Inn is yet another of the many intriguing, unexplored mysteries in Rings: one more place I wish I could visit. (If only in story … it sounds kind of sinister, actually!) Last edited by Churl : 01-21-2002 at 04:53 PM. |
