The '''Lone-lands''' is a region found within the land of <noinclude>[[</noinclude>Eriador<noinclude>]]</noinclude>.

<blockquote>
The Lone-lands are located between [[Bree-land]] and the [[Trollshaws]], north of [[Cardolan]], and along the [[Great East Road]]. In ancient times, this was part of the [[Rhudaur|Kingdom of Rhudaur]], but today the Lone-lands are little more than a savage wilderness. Recently, hordes of goblins, half-orcs, orcs, crebain and wargs have overrun the land, in service to the [[Saruman|White Hand]] and [[Angmar]]. In its northeastern corner, the [[Créoth]] tribe of [[hill-men]] worship, sacrifice, and defile the land in the name of the [[Red-maid]]. The [[Eglain]], however, stand firmly against these threats, as these wild-men have grown adept to life outside of civilization and are prepared to defend the ruins which have supplied them their very livelihood.

The most regal and prominent feature of the Lone-lands rises above the road like a symbol of the land’s sad legacy: [[Weathertop]]. Once known as [[Amon Sûl]] {{Lang|Sindarin|Hill of the Wind}}, it was a proud tower of vision and vigilance and the home of the strongest [[palantír]] of the north. However, it fell in battle to the [[Witch-king of Angmar]], and has sat derelict in the wild since then. Today, countless orcs prowl through the place’s rubble, and the few [[Rangers]] who defend it cannot often deter them.

<blockquote>''First of all it should be noted that the extent of the Lone-lands is debated. Probably the name once was synonymous with Eriador. However, today we know the Lone-lands as Hobbits and Bree-men knew it: the wilderness east of Bree, something inconvenient that lines the Great East Road. This section discusses the more narrow scope.

''While the Lone-lands as such is little told of in Tolkien's works (it was not mentioned at all until later editions of ''[[The Hobbit]]'' and not at all in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'') three of its locations are mentioned: [[the Forsaken Inn]], [[Weathertop]], and [[the Last Bridge]]. The history of Weathertop reveals much about the history of the Lone-lands: [[Elendil]] built the "Tower of Amon Sûl" in [[Second Age|II 3320]], when the [[Arnor|North-kingdom of Arnor]] was young. It housed the chief [[palantír]] that was used to communicate across the vast kingdom. In [[Third Age|III 861]], when Arnor broke apart, [[Arthedain]] claimed possession of the Tower and the palantír, but from then on the three Arnorian parts disagreed on its future. Facing many threats, Weathertop was overthrown by [[Angmar]] in III 1409 and was destroyed and burnt to ashes; however, the witch-king failed to lay hands on the palantír (though it was later lost at sea).

''The [[Great East Road]] runs through the Lone-lands like an artery, and it has served more than one ancient kingdom as highway and borderline. Thousands of years ago, it connected the [[Dúnedain]] kingdom of Arnor &ndash;sister kingdom of [[Gondor]]&ndash; to [[Rivendell]], the [[Misty Mountains]], and lands east. Throughout its lifetime, its travellers have added wealth to residents along the Road who provided services of all sorts.
