Field of Cormallen
The Field of Cormallen was a tree-lined field in North Ithilien, near the bank of the Anduin near Cair Andros and Henneth Annûn.
It is told that the tree culumalda, having yellow flowers, grew in the Field of Cormallen.
History
After returning from the Battle of the Morannon on 25 March Third Age 3019, Aragorn set up his camp on the Field of Cormallen. There, he healed the exhausted Frodo and Sam after their rescue from the wreckage of Mount Doom and put them in a long sleep. On 8 April Third Age 3019 after waking up from a long sleep the Ringbearers were greeted by many friends, and were received by Aragorn and praised before the Host of the West in a celebration of the victory in the War of the Ring.
Etymology
Cormallen is a Sindarin name. It means "golden circle" from cor ("ring") and mallen ("golden"). Apparently the name derived from the tree culumalda that grew there.
The Gondorians likely used the name Cormalthen as in Gondor Sindarin compounds retained the spirant. The spelling Cormallen follows the "proper" Elvish Sindarin, malt ("gold") and ending -en became *mallen, however in Gondor this remained malthen.
Portrayal in adaptations
2016: The Lord of the Rings Online:
Two versions of the Field of Cormallen exist in the game. Prior to the Battle of the Morannon, the field is a pristine glade with only wild beasts nearby. After the destruction of the One Ring, the field is bustling with activity, full of tents and pavilions where soldiers of Rohan and Gondor celebrate the victory.
