GULF OF ÛTUM AESTHETICS - [V] Urcheldor

Urcheldor (or Tol-Urchel) is the main island of the Gulf of Ûtum. It is an inhospitable land of beaches of black gravel, crowned by an imposing volcano raised just above the ruins of Utumno, the first great fortress of Morgoth.

The island of Urcheldor is the cornerstone that divides the Gulf of Ûtum into its three seas: The Sea of Storms (East), The Sea of Solitude (West) and The Sea of Havens (South).

GULF OF ÛTUM AESTHETICS - [I] Desdursyton

Desdursyton (in Dragon-Speech "Plain of the Steppe-Children") lay along the southeastern shores of the Gulf of Ûtum, just above the mouth of the mighty Talathrant. 

It was heavily wooded and occupied a traditionally strategic spot in north-central Middle-earth. It was best known, though, as the home of the Táratalamëar, a great mere situated atop the Táraparsa, Endor's largest butte. The Desdursyr -a fierce, Tyran-speaking people, considered the Táratalamëar (which they called "Gerlkûneshe," the "Spirit-mere") their spiritual centre.

The inhabitants of Desdursyton are known as the Desdursy. For more information check this post.

GULF OF ÛTUM AESTHETICS - [II] DYR

The Barl Syrnac range faded into foothills and low mountains north of the Firth of Dyr (Dy."Hudyr") and Forest of Dyr (Dy."Yardyr"), both named for the Dyr River (Dy."Endyr") which originated in the Iron Hills (Dy."Urmkarag"). The Inhabitants were the Dyrians (Dy."Dyrarr", "Mist-Men"), a Tyran speaking people. There's also a big presence of the Blacklocks clan of the dwarves.

The woodland of Dyr is stretched between the western bank of the Ujelsha River, and a spur of the Iron Mountains, the little Nojdä River, which is rich in clay and in copper. Formerly inhabited by the Dyrians, there is still in Dyr some abandoned villages, occasionally occupied by marauders, Lothragh raiders and Orcs.

PALISOR REGIONS MOODBOARDS - [XIV] Myr

Located east of the Gulf of Ûtum, Myr was the northernmost plain in central Endor. It was populated by the Tyran-speaking Myri.

PALISOR REGIONS MOODBOARDS - [XIII] Lú Tyr Sû

Lú Tyr Sû (In Dragon-Speech "Open place of Icy blue Mist") stretched across most of the northern part of Endor's East-plain. Covered with short grasses, it made relatively poor pastures. Still, scattered tribes of shepherds and big game hunters called the area home. Nearly all spoke Tyran.

The inhabitants of Lú Tyr Sû are known as the Lú Tyr tribe, for more information, check this post.

RHÛN REGIONS MOODBOARDS - [XIV] Lotan

Lotan was situated to the west of the mouth of the river Talathrant, along the southern shore of the Gulf of Utûm. A deciduous forest covered most of its northern reaches, while dense marshlands occupied the river valley to the east. The rest of the area consisted of a cool, rich grassland.

Ulgathig-speaking herders dominated the region, the Lothrag who were close cousins to the ancestors of the Wainriders.

After watching Mr.Gen'ichi Yonezu's self made anime, I decided to draw a fanart version.

Can't believe that he made the animation only on his own.
