Havens of Gondor focuses on the great fief called Dor-en-Ernil¸ the “Land of the Prince.” Comprising all the lands between the rivers Gilrain and Ringlo/Morthond and including the whole of the hilly peninsula called Belfalas¸ it is a strategic province blessed with fine ports and fair weather. It lies in the heart of southern Gondor and¸ aside from Lamedon¸ it is the westernmost of the Stone-land’s wellsettled regions.
Gondor’s two most famous havens¸ the princely city of Dol Amroth and nearby Elven port of Edhellond¸ are both in Dor-en-Ernil. Undoubtedly the most dramatic harbors in the South Kingdom¸ their history embodies the grander tale of the Gondorian seafarers and their Elven friends¸ and it mirrors the struggles of the region’s oft-times warring peoples.
Of course¸ Dor-en-Ernil is home to many lesser havens¸ including the fine harborage at Linhir. Together these towns house many of Gondor’s seamen¸ and virtually all the ships which do not weigh anchor in the three maritime towns along the Anduin River: the great port-city of Pelargir¸ Harlond by Minas Tirith¸ and Osgiliath. Dor-en-Ernil’s ports also provide a major portion of the warcraft engaged in the struggle against the Corsairs of Umbar and Harad.
