| - After Oropher, the founder of the Woodland Realm,had removed himself from Galadhrynd to northern Mirkwood, he built a marvelous subterranean palace. Constructed during the late Second Age, the complex was called Caras Amarth, or the "City of Doom." These halls comprised the second capital of the Forest-folk.During the time of the Great Plague and susequent reduction in general population fewer travelers came near these once light and airy caverns. The cavern vaults became noisome and unvisited entirely as the few travelers became even more sparse. Thranduil moved his palace north to the Aradhrynd when he grew fearful of the dark power in Dol Guldur. With it's abandonment the caves became the abode of Giant Spiders. The well-preserved ruins of the palace were situated three miles north of the Râd Annon (S. "Gate Path") and only fifty miles east of the western edge of the wood. Here, the rising land dividing the Anduin Valley from the Valley of the Forest River reaches its highest point. A stream linking Caras Amarth to the Avar Tombs (40 miles) to the northeast at one time ran by the citadel and eventually flowed into the Forest River.Elves made occassional forays to clear out the spiders though the dark and lightless depths remained uncleansed.
