Swiftbrook is a landmark within Southern Emyn Uial, in Evendim. [7.0S, 74.5W]
High above the Eave-mere this rapid water stream begins in a series of waterfalls from even higher mountain spurs. A huge log crosses the stream and connects Northern and Southern Emyn Uial just north of the giants' camp, Amon Môth.

Lore
- This cold and isolated stream cuts deeply through the rock of the mountains high above the western side of Lake Evendim before descending through tumultuous rapids to the Eave-mere below and thence to Lake Evendim itself.
- Legends speak of a beautiful maiden who – distraught over the abandonment of her ancestral home and the encroachment of the wilds upon the once glorious city of Annúminas – came here and threw herself into the waters from the high walls of the chasm above.
- Alas, even the old stories do not guess at the truth of this tale, or whom the woman might have been. — Deed
