Sirith
From Tolkien Gateway
The Sirith was a river in Gondor that rose in the White Mountains in eastern Lebennin, and flowed southward. South of the last outliers of the mountains it was joined by a tributary, the River Celos. At the point where it met the Great River Anduin, the port of Pelargir was built.[1]
Etymology
The name Sirith means "a flowing" in Sindarin.[2]
Portrayal in Adapations
2014: The Lord of the Rings Online:
- The Sirith divides Lower Lebennin and the region of Central Gondor from Upper Lebennin and the region of Eastern Gondor. It also bisects the port city of Pelargir where it joins the Anduin. The town of Erynos is located on the western shore across from where the Celos joins the Sirith, and the beacon of Sirthanc is found on a cliff to the north of the juncture. The Sirith is the domain of the honest River-maid Truetongue, one of the Five Sisters, though she and her sisters were widely considered a myth by the time of the War of the Ring.
