Tram Nybol, known as the Old Gray Bridge of Tavrobel[1], was a gray, arched bridge crossing the rivers Afros and Gruir at their confluence near the House of the Hundred Chimneys in Tavrobel, on the island of Tol Eressëa.[2][3]
History[]
The Ñoldor lived near or around Tram Nybol.[3] After the disastrous Battle of the Heath of the Sky-roof during the Faring Forth, the Elves and Eriol crossed Afros and Gruir in an attempt to escape the invading Men, presumably at Tram Nybol.[4]
Etymology[]
Tram Nybol is a Gnomish name that possibly translates to "snowy bridge", being derived from the elements tram ("bridge") and possibly nib ("snowflake"), an adjectival form of nybol.[2]
Inspiration[]
It is probable that Tram Nybol may have been inspired by the Essex Bridge, Staffordshire, which crosses the River Trent near Great Haywood, a village which Tavrobel was inspired by.[2]
