"APPENDIX" - читать интересную книгу автора (vol05) Sirion's Haven: '(Siriombar), the settlement of Tuor and the
remnants of Doriath at Eges-sirion; also called Sirion.' The name Siriombar only occurs here; cf. Brithornbar. Mouths of Sirion: '(Eges-sirion), the various branches of Sirion at its delta, also the region of the delta.' Above the second s of Eges-sirion (a name not found elsewhere) is written an h, showing the change of original s to h in medial position. Sirion's Well: '(Eithil or Eithil Sirion), the sources of Sirion, and the fortress of Fingolfin and Fingon near the spring.' Tol Thu is another name for Tol-na-Gaurhoth. Tulkas 'The youngest and strongest of the nine Valar.' The reference is to Q, IV. 79, but it is not said there that Tulkas was the youngest of the Valar. III THE SECOND 'SILMARILLION' MAP The second map of Middle-earth west of the Blue Mountains in the Elder Days was also the last. My father never made another; and over many years this one became covered all over with alterations and additions of names and features, not a few of them so hastily or faintly pencilled as to be more or less obscure. This was the basis for my map in the published 'Silmarillion'. The original element in the map can however be readily perceived from the fine and careful pen (all subsequent change was roughly done); and I give here on four successive pages a reproduction of the map as it close a copy of the original as I could, though I do not guarantee the exact correspondence of every tree. It is clear that this second map, developed from that given in Vol. IV, belonged in its original form with the earlier work of the 1930S: it was in fact closely associated with the List of Names - which in two cases (Eglor and Eredlumin, although Eredlumin is not marked on the map) gives 'Map' as the source-reference - as is shown by certain name-forms common to both, e.g. Dor-deloth, Dor-lumin, Eithil Sirion, and by the occurrence in both of Cape Balar (see the entry Beleriand in the List of Names). Moreover the date in 'Realm of Nargothrond Beyond the river (until 195)' on the map associates it with the original Annals of Beleriand, where the fall of the redoubt took place in that year (IV. 305), as does the river-name Rathlorion (later Rathloriel). The map is on four sheets, originally pasted together but now separate, in which the map-squares do not entirely coincide with the sheets. In my reproductions I have followed the squares rather than the original sheets. I have numbered the squares horizontally right across the map from 1 to 15, and lettered them vertically from A to M, so that each square has a different combination of letter and figure for subsequent reference. I hope later to give an account of all changes made to the map afterwards, using these redrawings as a basis. The scale is 50 miles to 3'2 cm. (the length of the sides of the squares); see p. 272. There are various developments in the physical features of the lands |
