The southeastern of these was known as the Hyarrostar, translated as 'Southeastlands'. A wide, densely forested region, its western border, where it marched with the Hyarnustar or Southwestlands, was marked by the river Siril and the shoreland town of Nindamos. To the north, it was separated from the Orrostar (Eastlands) by a narrow inlet at whose head lay the great eastern haven of Rómenna. See also...
