Encyclopedia > Harlond

In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings the name Harlond (Sindarin for "south haven") is shared by two fictional places in Middle-earth:

  1. The southern harbour of Mithlond on the Gulf of Lhûn, the northern being Forlond;
  1. The harbour of Minas Tirith located on the westward reach of the Anduin to the south of the city. Although Tolkien does not say so, Barbara Strachey's book Journeys of Frodo locates the harbour outside the wall of the Rammas Echor since it would otherwise have created a breach in the city's defences. (In any case, the Rammas Echor extends to the Anduin only at Osgiliath, and the port would have to be south of the ruined city.)

Battle of Southford (1567 words)
At the ford itself, the Harlond foresters stood, trying to delay any crossing of the ford while their gunners frantically tried to position their bombards to cover the ford.
Likewise, one of the two companies of orcish foot in the northern attack was slaughtered by billmen, driven into the river screaming with terror.
A company of Harlond archers, exhausted after a day-long battle and nearly out of arrows, finally broke in front of the orcish foot.
