Fornost is a fictional city from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, specifically featured in the lore of The Lord of the Rings. It was the capital of the kingdom of Arthedain during the Third Age and served as a significant stronghold for the Dúnedain people. The city was known for its impressive architecture and strategic location. Fornost eventually fell into ruin due to the rise of Angmar and the forces of the Witch-king. After its downfall, it became a haunted place, filled with remnants of its former glory. Today, it is often remembered as a symbol of lost heritage in Tolkien's expansive world.
