About this entry:

Land of Seven Rivers

The homeland of the Laiquendi

A name for Ossiriand, and a literal translation of that Elvish name. The Land of Seven Rivers lay between the river Gelion and the Blue Mountains, and was the home of the Green-elves, the Laiquendi. The Seven Rivers from which it took its name were the Gelion itself and six of its tributaries. From north to south, these tributaries were named Ascar, Thalos, Legolin, Brilthor, Duilwen and Adurant.
