The name Forlond is derived from the Elvish for 'north haven'. It had an equivalent on the southern shore, too: the Harlond or 'south haven'. Notes 1 On the maps within The Lord of the Rings, 'Forlond' appears as a label running down the inner edge of Forlindon's southern promontory, covering a stretch of coast some fifty or sixty miles in length. In volume VII of The History of Middle-earth, however, the original version of this map gives us a much more precise location for the Forlond. That map marks it as a haven rather than a stretch of coastline, and places it at the mouth of an unnamed river running out of Forlindon into the northern arm of the Gulf of Lhûn. See also...
