FramsburgThe chief town of the Éothéod![]() The main settlement of the Éothéod, and their only fortified township. It lay in the far north of Middle-earth, at the point where the Rivers Langwell and Greylin met to form the beginning of the Great River Anduin. It took its name from the famed leader Fram (who may indeed be responsible for its founding). Framsburg is not marked on the maps that accompany The Lord of the Rings, though its existence is hinted at in Unfinished Tales, where it is said of the confluence of the two rivers that there 'was [the Éothéod's] only fortified burg' (Cirion and Eorl). Its name and precise location were provided by Tolkien for inclusion on a poster map produced in 1969. Notes
