Länsi-mâ is an area within Forochel in the western region.

This area lies between Itä-mâ and Talvi-mûri, and between the south-western shorelines of the Ice Bay of Forochel and one of the three contributories to river Lhûn that eventually is flowing south past Ered Luin and beyond. Throughout the area are found elks, gauredain, ice-bears, and mammoths, and in the north-western section are hot springs with many worms. At Norsu-leiri are daily quests available for improved standing with the Lossoth.

Historically this area was a prosperous mining centre with many mines around the area, but it was deserted long ago and only recently the Longbeards have taken the frost-bitten ruins of Zigilgund into use again. However, also Dourhands have returned and settled down in some nearby mines, where king Arvedui of Dúnadan hid long since with his men, escaping Fornost and Angmar's wrath.

Zigilgund is an outpost with dwarves, a Lossoth hunter, and a burgled Burglar. Here travellers will find basic services such as a Stable-master, Milestone, Mailbox and a Forge. There are also a Healer and a Supplier & Provisioner, as well as many quest givers and a Burglar Trainer who has lost his Fellowship as well as his own belongings.
