Quickbeam's Ent-house
Type: Buildings, Halls, Houses
Region: Rhovanion/Misty Mtns
Location: A dwelling near Derndingle, at the foot of Methedras, in the southwestern corner of Fangorn.
Description: At nightfall [Quickbeam] brought them to his ent-house: nothing more than a mossy stone set upon turves under a green bank. Rowan-trees grew in a circle about it, and there was water (as in all ent-houses), a spring bubbling out from the bank. They talked for a while as darkness fell on the forest. ...
The next day they spent also in his company, but they did not go far from his 'house'. Most of the time they sat silent under the shelter of the bank; for the wind was colder, and the clouds closer and greyer ...
The third day broke, bleak and windy. ... The Hobbits could see that Bregalad was now listening intently, although to them, down in the dell of his ent-house, the sound of the Moot was faint.
