‘Behold! You are come to Cerin Amroth,’ said Haldir. ‘For this is the heart of the ancient realm as it was long ago, and here is the mound of Amroth, where in happier days his high house was built. Here ever bloom the winter flowers in the unfading grass: the yellow elanor, and the pale niphredil. Here we will stay awhile, and come to the city of the Galadhrim at dusk.’
- The Fellowship of the Ring (Book 2), Chapter 6
The hill of Cerin Amroth is named after Amroth, the last King of Lórien, who once dwelled here. Located north of Caras Galadhon, its main purpose is to keep watch on the ruined fortress of Dol Guldur.
