Location
Dimholt is a landmark within Dunharrow in West Rohan. [72.0S, 70.2W]
The Dimholt, is a small, dark, fir-wood at the far end of Dunharrow. Wedged in between the mountains Irensaga (Iron Saw), and Starkhorn, it ends at the base of Dwimorberg, the Haunted Mountain, outside the Dark Door, the entrance to the Paths of the Dead.
Lore
From Dunharrow, a double row of standing stones marked an ancient roadway leading away into the east, towards the Dwimorberg (the Haunted Mountain) and the Paths of the Dead. A traveller taking that road would soon come under the trees of a dark fir-wood. This was the Dimholt, a name that comes from old words literally meaning 'dark wood'. Deep within this wood of black trees stood a single great stone to mark the way, and beyond that, among the roots of the Dwimorberg, lay the Dark Door of the Dead.
