The Siril was the chief river of Númenor.
It rose in springs from the Meneltarma and flowed southwards to find the sea in a sandy delta which formed the border between the provinces of Hyarrostar and Hyarnustar.[1]
Etymology[]
Siril is a Quenya word that meant "rivulet". It came from the word sir, meaning 'river', though the origin of the second element il is unclear.[citation needed]
Portrayal in adaptations[]
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power[]
The Siril is shown to flow through Armenelos, instead of to its west. Much of the river passed through a rocky gorge, into the sides of which are carved stone faces. These are referred to as the King Stones.[2]
