The river of western Middle-earth, also called the Greyflood, that divided the regions of Enedwaith and Minhiriath. It flowed southwestwards to meet the Great Sea at Lond Daer.
Notes
1 |
The 'shadowy' element comes from the time of the Gwathló's original naming in the Second Age, when it was overhung by deep forests on both sides, and thus shaded by tall trees. These forests were later felled, so that at the end of the Third Age, the once overshadowed river actually ran through an all but treeless plain.
