In the North after the war and the slaughter of the Gladden Fields the Men of Westernesse were diminished, and their city of Annúminas beside Lake Evendim fell into ruin; and the heirs of Valandil removed and dwelt at Fornost on the high North Downs, and that now too is desolate.
– The Fellowship of the Ring (Book 2), Chapter 2

Located around 100 miles north of the Shire, Lake Evendim is the source of the Brandywine river. Although lesser men settled around the lake in earlier times, it became an important location in the late Second Age, as the Northern Dúnedain made their capital of Annúminas here. As they abandoned the city in favour of Fornost Erain at the beginning of the Third Age, the lands surrounding the lake slowly returned to wilderness.
