Duvuinen
Region:	Angmar
Connecting Area(s):	Eastern Malenhad
Levels:	Mainly 48

Duvuinen (Sindarin for Gloomy Lake) is an area within Angmar in the south-eastern region.

Surrounded at all sides by Eastern Malenhad lies this sulphuric lake with crystal clear water. Its Sindarin name probably refers to the lake's gloomy surroundings in the greyish green mist of Angmar. Most of the lake is no more than a foot deep, though the southern section near the passage to the dwarven mining outpost of Gabilshathûr is considerably deeper.

Some creatures from the surrounding areas lie sunbathing at the shores—mainly fiery worms, neekerbreekers, and slugs—but the waters themselves lie undisturbed. The dwarves from the nearby outpost speak of a massive turtle, Gaeruan, who has made her nest in the centre of the lake, though sightings of her are rare.
