Lisgardh was a fenland region at the Mouths of Sirion consisting of large areas where reeds and rushes grew Man-high.[1]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Lisgardh is Sindarin, meaning "Land of Reeds",[1] from lisg ("reed") + gardh ("region").
Other versions of the legendarium[edit | edit source]
In The Fall of Gondolin, Lisgardh was called Arlisgion in Gnomish, also meaning "the place of reeds".[2] It is described as being located to the south of Dor Lómin but separated from it by the Mountains of Shadow. Tuor stayed there for a while before departing for the "yet more lovely" Land of Willows.
Other variant of the Gnomish name was Garlisgion, and its Qenya cognate was Ardaliskea.[3]
