North Ithilien was the northern part of Ithilien between the Anduin and the Ephel Dúath and was somewhat less extensive than its southern counterpart, South Ithilien (lower Ithilien). The refuge of Henneth Annûn[1] and the Field of Cormallen[2] were to be found in this part of Ithilien.

2016: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- North Ithilien is chronologically set after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, with the Host of the West marching towards the Black Gate. The ranger strongholds Bâr Aroth and Bâr Tarnaher are similarly overrun, while Aelin Veren was only briefly passed by and has since been reclaimed from the Enemy. The secrecy of Henneth Annûn has been abandoned, as it is used to support the Host of the West during its march and would serve no further purpose should its mission fail.
