Morthond

The river Morthond occurs in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth.

The river Morthond, also called Blackroot, was counted as second of the Seven Rivers of Gondor.

It began on the southern edges of the Dwimorberg at the end of the Paths of the Dead in the White Mountains, then flowing past the ancient fortress of Erech it went on its long journey south, avoiding the Green Hills of the Pinnath Gelin while picking up its tributary Calenhir, and entering the sea at Edhellond.

Aragorn and company emerged from the Paths of the Dead in Morthond's vale, and followed the river briefly to Erech on their way to southern Gondor.
