The Fields of Fornost are an area within the North Downs, in the western region.

These were once the fields which stood before where the capital of Arnor, known as "Norbury of the Kings", the "North Kingdom of Men". Now, all that remains are weathered ruins of the fortresses and watch-towers that remind travellers of the war that drove away the Witch-king of Angmar, and fields of wild grasses and sparse trees.

These barren fields north of the Greenway area embrace the northern end of the North-South Road leading to the city of Fornost; across the western fields is the the Evendim Gate leads to Evendim and beyond. Recently foul creatures and hardened bands of Orcs and goblins have moved into these fields again, and into Dol Dínen.

The Fields of Fornost is mainly a questing area providing a variety of fell beasts. In the north is the Treasure Hunters' Camp, housing several quest givers and a healer, provisioner, and supplier.
