Tir Limlight marked the effective northern limit of Gondorian authority and it guarded one of the few crossings of the Anduin at the Undeeps. Orcs occasionally harassed this t o w n, but never in large enough numbers to cause serious damage. Northmen from upriver occasionally visited the town to sell their wares, and Tir Limlight was slowly becoming a center for trade.
