Tûlwang and An-Balkûmagân
Tûlwang (Ap.:"Land of Arrival") was situated on an arid peninsula in southwestern Middle-earth, lying between the Belegaer and the Tûr Betark. The Gulf of Harad lay to the north, while the river Norpûl formed its southern border.
Name[]
The term "Tûlwang" had undergone numerous semantic transformations across the ages—"Tûluwângha", "Tholûanghâ", "Lwangê", "Tûl", "Tulwany", and other variations still echoing its core. Referring to the former colony, later a tribal realm, kingdom, province, region, client-state.
Tûlwang's original name under black númenórean rule seems to have been Balakhûrush after the regions dominating great river.
