Everhir

The River Everhir(S. "Herd River;" La. Kääntyvä Tie) marks the southern boundary of the Herd Tundra, dividing the grassy plains from the Emyn Nimbrith further south. Streams from these hills make up the principal, year-round sources of the Everhir, though an arm of the river reaches out into the midst of the tundra, drawing upon the spring snow-melt. The Everhir's waters empty into the Bay of Cracking Ice, forming a boggy fenland at the river's mouth. The Lumimiehet do not camp for long upon the banks of the Everhir because of its proximity to Angmar (except in spring, its course is readily fordable in most places, making it an ineffective barrier against hostile intrusions). The Lumimiehet of the eastern Everhir are wary of strangers, suspecting them to be spies of the Witch-king. They become gradually friendlier the farther west (and away from Angmar) one travels.
