Words of Legolasfrom The Return of the King V 9_The Last Debate_ Rivers of Gondor A lesser river or stream that flowed out of the White Mountains into the Gondorian land of Lebennin, a little to the west of Minas Tirith. It was a tributary of the larger river Sirith, flowing into that river from the west. The smaller-scale map that accompanies many editions of The Lord of the Rings actually shows Celos flowing into Sirith from the east, but the large-scale contour map of Gondor shows it flowing from the west. A brief reference in Unfinished Tales suggests that the Celos was the next river eastward from the Gilrain, which would make the large-scale map correct (and Christopher Tolkien confirms this in notes in The History of Middle-earth volume VII). The river's name on that map, incidentally, is transliterated 'Kelos' rather than 'Celos', but the pronunciation is the same in either case. See also...
