The river Celebrant was a stream rising in the eastern Misty Mountains near the exit from Moria.

Description Edit

The Celebrant ran through the vale of Azanulbizar east to Lothlórien where it was met by the Nimrodel river, and emptied into the Anduin. The stream ran for about eighty-five miles.

The Fellowship of the Ring followed this river when they travelled from Moria to Lórien.

It formed the northern boundary of the Field of Celebrant. Celeborn and Galadriel of Lothlórien claimed it as part of their realm.

Etymology Edit

Celebrant was a Sindarin word for 'Silvercourse'. It was called Silverlode in Westron and Kibil-nâla in Khuzdul, the language of dwarves.
