About this entry:

Mouths of Anduin

The wide estuary region known as the Ethir

The wide and wandering delta of the river Anduin, where it flowed out into the Bay of Belfalas.

1	It is known that the Mouths of Anduin were occupied by Gondorian fishermen, and we can reasonably assume that there were at least a number of fishing villages dotted across the delta, though no such settlements are specifically identified.
