Rycolis was a tribal Land in the northeastern part of the central Talathrant basin. A cool area characterized by lush grasslands and a large, mixed-wood forest know as Felbuzad, it was occupied by Aharin-speaking farmers.

The inhabitants of this region are known as the Rycoli. For more information check this post.

RHÛN REGIONS MOODBOARDS - [XII] Kykurian Kyn

The Kykurian Kyn (D.S. "Black Land of the Black and Red Cryers") lay east of Rhûn, above the western banks of the Talathrant. A vast grassland characterized by intermittent collections of rolling hills, it was populated by a host of ever-shifting Ulgathig- and Ioradja-speaking peoples. The former group, which dominated westernmost Kyn and eastern Rhûn, were known throughout Gondor as the "Wain-easterlings." The latter were often referred to as the "Balchoth".

Kykurian Kyn is the homeland of the Kykuriag and Magriag tribes. The Magriags moved to Rhovanion and became subjects of the Necromancer of Mirkwood. They were forerunners of the later Balchoth-Confederation along with the Asdriags and Odhriags. The Kykuria, though they were believed to be largely descendants of the Ioriags and Tyr-Nomads the Kykuria were noted for their exeptionally fair hair and skin, being golden-haired and blue-eyed like a Northron not beeing rare among their kind. This had led some scholars to suggest ancient ties to the Lintador, especially the branch that produced the House of Hador. The Kykurian Pultai-Dynasty later evolved into the Balchoth.
