Age (the First House of the Edain, from Ladros in Dorthonion). The chief city of the west was
Anduni├л, but Eldalond├л also lay in this region.

The forested region of Nisimaldor was called "The Fragrant Trees" and was enriched by the
Eldar with many gifts of trees brought from the West. There were apparently many Mallorns
there as well.

Andustar had many farms, but its havens were the ones the Eldar sailed to most often, and it was
in Andustar (near Anduni├л) that Tar-Minastir built his tower on the peak named Oromet so that
he could gaze west and see Avallon├л.

 Essays On Middle-earth


The Hyarnustar (Southwest lands)
The Hyarnustar was probably not thickly settled, for its western lands were mountainous and
possessed no cities. In the east the lands became gently rolling hills and the Edain established
farms and vineyards there.

The southeastern shores of Hyarnustar were gentle enough that many fisherfolk could settle
there.

The Hyarrostar (Southeast lands)
Like the Hyarnustar this region was settled along the coast land by fisherfolk, and their chief
haven of Nindamos lay on the east side of the river Siril, within the borders of Hyarrostar. But
this land was also the most thickly forested region of Numenor, and Tar-Aldarion as Master of
Forests established many tree plantations here for the production of timber.

It is probable that most of the people of Hyarrostar were descended from the Haladin of the First
Age (the Second House of the Edain from Brethil).

Endor (The Middle Lands)
Of course the continent known as Middle-earth was huge and fairly well-documented by
Tolkien. Its many lands and regions are catalogued in various books by Tolkien commentators.
The primary regions of Middle-earth included: Beleriand, Eriador, Rhovanion, Gondor, Near
Harad, Far Harad, Mordor, and Rhun.

Beleriand (Land of the Valar)
This was the most storied region of Middle-earth, and the home of Arda's most ancient
civilization outside of Aman. The great forests of Beleriand, nestled about the rivers Sirion and
Gelion, harbored the Sindar and Noldor, and later the Edain.

East Beleriand properly consisted of the lands between Gelion and the Ered Luin (Blue
Mountains), and the regions between the Gelion and Sirion. After the First Age, only the lands
east of Gelion survived the destruction of Beleriand, and they were much changed by the tumults
caused by the War of Wrath.
