Palisor

Palisor (ancient Quenya:"Flat Land") is an ancient term for the vast Lands of central Middle-Earth.Palisor encompassed the far Lands between the Great Greenwood in the west and the Orocarni in the east and included the vast Inland Sea of Helcar, the Mountains of the Wind with the Land Hildorien and the Murmenalda and the Lands of Cuivienen.

In the second and third Age most knowledge about eastern Middle-earth was lost and when Gondor conquered the lands surrounding the Rhûnaer they were astonished by the beauty of the Sea of Flowers in the east, why they called the unknown lands east of the Rhûnaer Menelothriand.

Palisor is believed to be the birthplace of Elves and Men (and probably Hobbits and the birthplace of the four eastern Dwarf-Tribes.It is still inhabited by the various Easterling peoples, Orcs, Trolls and scattered remnants of Dwarves, Avari and Giants.
