Relmether

Relmether lies along the northern flank of the west-central Talathrant Valley. The Talathrant meets the Chey Rill at the eastern edge of the region. Relmether 's gently rolling hills and woods offer shelter from the region's harsh winds. A relatively prosperous mix of Aharin- and Ioradja-speaking peoples reside here, farming, herding, and trading astride Middle-earth 's principal east-west trade route.

About half of Relmether 's people live by the lake known as Linenether, a portion of the river Talathrant, which lies in southern Relmether. Dammed by a natural rock ridge, the Linenether is a rich source of food and freshwater. A waterfall called the Belanthir (S. "Mighty Waterfall") lies at the eastern end of the thirty mile mere. Here, the lake's water tumbles some six hundred feet over the escarpment before resuming its seaward journey. Relerindú, Relmether 's chief town, lies just above the Belanthir. Its famous Mill-bridge spans the cataract. Well-fortified, the bridge supports thirty distinct grain- and lumber-mills.
