Limlight River
Description
The Limlight River is a tributary of the mighty Anduin River, running through the Great River region. It runs from the Misty Mountains over the Limlight Falls and through the dangerous Limlight Gorge area, then past Stangard, the most northerly of the Rohirrim towns, and joining the Anduin in the Rushgore swamp.
