Methedras
Methedras (Sindarin for "Last Peak") was the southernmost of "the last major peaks" of the Misty Mountains. Upon its eastern slopes sprang the Entwash River, which flowed into the western edge of Fangorn Forest, growing about the base of the mountain.
To the south, Methedras stood above Isengard in the valley of Nan Curunír. The sources of the river Isen were at the southern end of the Misty Mountains, probably on the southern slopes of Methedras. On 3 March Third Age 3019 the Ents diverted the waters of the Isen to flow into Isengard, flooding its pits and creating a lake about the tower.
Etymology
Other versions of the legendarium
In the draft version of "The Riders of Rohan", Methedras was named Methen Amon. This name would be changed to Methendol before the final name of Methedras was adopted.
Portrayal in adaptations
2011: The Lord of the Rings Online:
In addition to being prominently visible from within Isengard, the western slope of the mountain is explorable as the "Tâl Methedras" area, home to the "Tûr Morva" village of the Dunlendings.
