Bruinen Gorges is an area within The Trollshaws in the southern central region.
This area encompasses the Great East Road between South Trollshaws and the Bruinen river and High Moor beyond, and between the southern Tâl Bruinen and the northern Nan Tornaeth. The main road is fairly safe to travel by day aside from the stray wild animal, however at night stone-trolls wander the paths, as well as the wilds, making passage much more dangerous. The smaller roads and paths are considerably more dangerous as well, for Bruinen Gorges is home to trolls, bears, deer, wolves, and other creatures. This area is known for its towering rock formations and autumnal forests, as well as its troll-cave and wolf dens.
Centrally located is the outpost of Thorenhad, where Elf-scouts charged by Elrond are watching over the Trollshaws. There his sons Elladan and Elrohir are aiding the scouts, as well as welcoming adventurers opposing the Enemy. Thorenhad affords visitors with basic services and armament vendors, and there are a milestone and a stable-master who provides a handful of rides to the surrounding areas.
