Celos

The Celos is a river in Gondor.

The river is located between Lower Lebennin in the region of Central Gondor and Upper Lebennin in the region of Eastern Gondor. The river Sirith joined it to the east, below the beacon of Sirthanc. The village of Erynos stood across from the mouth of the Sirith, on the western bank of the juncture. South of the meeting of the rivers, the combined river flowed south through the city of Pelargir and into the Anduin. The Celos was the domain of the lighthearted River-maid Silverfroth, one of the Five Sisters, though she and her sisters were widely considered a myth by the time of the War of the Ring.
