Agâl

The Agâl was formerly a river in Haradwaith. It used to run through the great lake of what is now Idagâl, through the lands of Silapesh and Sugedin to the sea near Umbar. However, after the Din of Stone caused the Great Dearth, the lake dried up into dimishing remnants, the Agâl stopped flowing, and Sugedin turned into Lâkhedin, the Witherlands.
