Tol Farenir

In the middle of the northem half of Estolin lay Tol Farenir (S. “Harriers Island") some 200 yards long and 120 yards wide at its broadest. The island was another upthrust of hard stone like the one on which Barad Tathren was built, although rather larger. lt rose up to 30‘ high at the center and the soil supported a few sycamores. In their branches nested several pairs of screaming harriers and a few other birds of prey. They nested here to avoid the predations of creatures who stole eggs. The harriers were spectacular to watch as they ﬁshed.
