Anfalas is the Elvish name for a coastal region of Gondor.

The Anfalas, or Long Shore, also known as Langstrand in Westron (the Common Tongue), lies between the rivers Lefnui and Morthond, south of the Green Hills of Pinnath Gelin.

DescriptionEdit

The climate hovered near the moderate and the extreme with mild winters and hot, dry summers and the terrain consisted of scattered woodlands on undulating lowlands.^[1] It was not densely populated, as it is far from central Gondor and there were no cities.

HistoryEdit

During the War of the Ring, the people of the Anfalas were harassed at the coasts by the Corsairs of Umbar.
