Palisor -Globe
Palisor in First Age
Palisor (Primitive Quenya:"Flat Land"; Tal."Plehesh", "Great Burn"; Av."Dur-pala") or The Great Plain was an ancient term for the vast Lands of central Middle-earth. Palisor encompassed the far Lands between the Great Greenwood in the west and the Orocarni in the east and included the vast Inland Sea of Helcar, the Mountains of the Wind with the Land Hildorien and the Murmenalda and the Lands of Cuivienen.
In the second and third Age most knowledge about eastern Middle-earth was lost and when Gondor conquered the lands surrounding the Rhûnaer they were astonished by the beauty of the Sea of Flowers in the east, why they called the unknown lands east of the Rhûnaer Menelothriand.
Palisor was believed to have been the birthplace of Elves and Men (and probably Hobbits) and the place of the Awakening of the four eastern Dwarf-Tribes.It was still inhabited by the various Easterling peoples, Orcs, Trolls and scattered remnants of Dwarves, Avari and Giants.

Notes[]
- In "The Nature of Middle-Earth" J. R. R. Tolkien stated once that the march of the elves from their places of awakening to the western coasts of Beleriand was about a length of ca. 2,000 miles which would locate Cuivienen on the western shore of the Rhûnaer.A second time however he stated that Cuivienen was located about 450 miles east or southeast from the eastern shores of the Rhûnaer.If Rhûnaer was roughly at the same location as the northwesternmost bay of the Black sea, that would locate Cuivienen roughly at the Black sea's northeasternmost bay in modern day southern Russia.Either would drastically reduce the size and area of Palisor and make all earlier versions of Middle-earth's geography largely obsolete.
- Apart from MERP and Rolemaster sources used to flesh out the little described lands of central Middle-earth include: graeco-roman historiographies, prehistoric animal life of inner asia (Yes, the unfitting scientific names WILL be replaced by better suited ones as i move on! I am well aware that Tolkien called his great wolves "Wargs" and not "pleistocenic megalupus" and will follow similar patterns), turk and mongol mythology, fairy and folktales.
- Useful RPG sources: the Hordelands of D&D forgotten realms, Earthdawn: Barsaive, Conan RPGS : Zamora and Shadizar,7th sea:Ussura, the east, Dark Eye :the Shadowlands,Orkland. Computer and Videogame: Ishar Series, Gothic 3.Outside Rpg: Conan Comics ,Stories set in Turan and Hyarkania (don't worry, i WILL rework those beasts unfit for Arda to better suit the cosmology... there will be no serpentmen, centaurs, Satyrs, cyclopses or dog-people in middle-earth... they will all be refitted into proper Ainur, demons, Orcs and Trolls same with the mythologies, the Hizir, Peri and Neme "will" become fairies or elves, the Canavars, divs, mangqys etc. tolkienian Orcs, trolls and Ogres, albeit with a certain local twist).
