Ettinsmoor

Ettinsmoor

In the fantasy novel "The Chronicles of Narnia", the land of Ettinsmoor is a long, lonely land north of the fictional River Shribble. It is mainly populated by fictional giants. Long gullies, sometimes as much as fifty feet deep, crisscross its surface.

In the book "The Silver Chair", Eustace Scrubb, Jill Pole, and Puddleglum cross this stretch of land and eventually reach Harfang. The giants that live in Ettinsmoor don't seem to have any sort of organization amongst themselves. It is generally considered a dangerous and wild place. There are a few scattered Talking Beasts there. There are also various scattered ruins of old, old times, as well as old, slippery bridges.

The word 'Ettin' comes from an old English word ("Eoten") for giant. In J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, there is a similarly-named area called the Ettenmoors.
