Dispar (S./N."Bride-hunt" or "Bride-hand"?; Hi."Dorn Brigit") was located alongside the Caranduin River in an active farming area, and was larger than Carandor due to the greater opportunity for trade which existed in this setting. Dispar made no serious attempt at fortification. The earth bank walls of the town were able to delay, not deter, potential attackers.
