Part 7/8:

Conclusion: The Allure of Mystery
While the lack of information about this unnamed region may initially seem like a missed opportunity, it adds a layer of authenticity to Tolkien’s world. The perspective that shaped the maps was inevitably limited, making some areas remain as "terra incognita.” The mystery invites exploration and encourages readers and fans alike to consider the narratives that could exist in the voids of Middle Earth.
