Greylin

Description

This Greylin (Grálin in Northern) river rises in the mountains in the western Ered Mithrin in two branches. The eastern branch runs through the gorge of Thikil-gundu, sweeping swiftly over several falls before joining the western branch which descends through the Grálinvarth. The joint river passes under the Hárveg Bridge near Khadâsh-gâra before plummeting into the majestic Reikfoss of Greylin. After joining with the Langflood and the Drekvath, the Greylin becomes part of the massive Anduin river.
