Cover/Jacket Text:
"Where are we, Gandalf?" he
asked.
"
In the realm of Gondor," the wizard answered...
"
Pippin became drowsy again and paid little attention to Gandalf telling him
of the customs of Gondor, and how the Lord of the City had beacons built
on the tops of outlying hills along both borders of the great range, and
maintained posts at these points where fresh horses were always in readiness
to bear his errand-riders to Rohan in the North, or Belfalas in the South." -
The Return of the King
Southern Gondor: The Land presents Gondor's coastal provinces in vivid color
and detail. The route of humble country lane and famous high road; the
scattering of manor, hamlet, village, and town across hill and dale; the
placement of beacon, guard posts, haven, and citadel; the ebb and flow
of peril and adventure - all play a part in this exciting region.
Travel the highways and byways of southern Gondor like
the intrepid King's Writer who tested the accuracy of his monarch's maps.
Discover genial hosts,
unusual folk ways, geological wonders, and secrets that linger from the days
of the Second Age and the Númenórean colonies sheltered by
the middle continent. And beware the sea-longing that stirs the hearts of
all who linger too long by Belegaer's waves and breezes. Southern Gondor:
The Land includes complete stats for MERP and Rolemaster.
Southern Gondor: The Land features:
COLOR MAPS - 2 exquisite terrain maps depicting Gondor's
coastal provinces and territories from Andrast and Anfalas through Lamedon

and features of southern Gondor, including these six and many more:

Ú lond, the treacherous waters off the Andrast coast.
FINDEGIL'S COMMENTARY - scholarly notes on Sindarin place-names penned by
the engaging traveler and King's Writer who knew the pleasures of warm hospitality
and a well-stoked wine-cellar and who enjoyed a quixotic passion for linguistic
purity.

Gondorian reverence for the Lady of the Seas; and Edhellond, way station
for Elven pilgrims to the West.
