The wind that rose in the south and passed over Middle-earth. To those dwelling in the northwestern regions, that wind blew over the wide Bay of Belfalas before it began its journey across the lands of Middle-earth. To the Elves, then, the South Wind carried an association with the Great Sea and the gulls that rode the wind, whose cries could awaken the Sea-longing. Even as far inland as Cerin Amroth, the South Wind brought the sounds of the Sea¹ as it sighed through trees of Lórien. When Legolas made a song for the slain Boromir, he also evoked the South Wind, singing of the distant shores that Boromir's funeral boat would pass as it carried his body out into the Bay of Belfalas.
