Location East of Mirkwood, flowing southward out of the Iron Hills Source The Iron Hills Tributaries None Outflow Into Celduin Meaning Evidently named for the red colour of its water caused by the iron ore at its source Other names Carnen Indexes: Alphabetical: R Rivers and Lakes About this entry: Updated 8 February 2022 This entry is complete The red river out of the Iron Hills Map of the river Redwater A river that ran near the eastern fringes of the known part of Middle-earth. It rose among the Iron Hills, east of Erebor, and from there it flowed southwards until it met the River Running in the middle of that river's course. Its name is a direct translation of the Elvish Carnen, and seems to be a literal description: rivers that flow out of land with strong iron deposits do indeed show a distinctive red-orange colour in their water. Little is known of the peoples who lived along the river, except for the Northmen who lived in the lands west of the Redwater in the Third Age. These Men enjoyed a strong alliance with the Dwarves of the Iron Hills, maintaining a prosperous community in this region. See also...
