Notes[]

Tolkien mentioned in a footnote that "Men awoke in mesopotamia", this may hint at the possibility that Hildorien corresponded to the Area of Mesopotamia or the Region equated to it on his earliest sketches of Arda.
On his early Ambarkanta sketches he located Hildorien "far east of Palisor".
