With the coming of Sauron, the scorched fields lay in waste, and the fleeing Ent-wives disappeared. Surviving Ents like Treebeard searched relentlessly for their rosy-cheeked, golden-haired mates, but no Ent-wife was ever found. Some believe that Fimbrethil and at least one other Entmaiden survived the wars and ravages of the Second and Third Ages, interpreting Trebeard's wistful remembrance of Wandlimb as an oblique reference not to Fimbrethil but to a second and fleeter Entwife.
