Lagorduin

The Lagorduin (Sindarin for Sword River) is a river in Gondor. It flows south from Northern Pinnath Gelin, forming the border between Tûm Rost in the west and Eryn Ethuil in the east. The river then passes into Anfalas, where it forms the border between Thingast in the west, and Central Anfalas in the east, before flowing into the Bay of Belfalas. Lond Cirion is located on the river's east bank.

Its name might mean "Sword River" in Sindarin, from lang ("sword") + duin ("river").

  Like the rest of Gondor's rivers, the Lagorduin starts its flow as a waterfall from the White Mountains.
• 
  After a short stretch of calm waters, the river goes into another waterfall past a wooded glen.
• 
  The river then enters a series of falls in quick succession as it heads down towards the lower valley.
• 
  At the middle of this stretch, the Lagorduin forms a rocky and verdant island.
• 
  The two arms of the flood rejoin each other on the far side of the island.

  The Lagorduin then flows into the large Nen Eilen lake at the docks of Ost Arndir.
• 
  Nen Eilen is navigable from the sea and can host ships.
