Harlond was a haven of the Elves on the southern shores of the Gulf of Lhûn. It was situated in a small inlet about 150 miles south-west of Mithlond, on the side of Harlindon.[1]
It is told that the fleet of Eärnur, arriving in Lindon during the Angmar War, filled the harbours of Harlond, Forlond, and the Grey Havens.[2]
Etymology
The Sindarin[3] name Harlond is given the translation "Southhaven".[4] Harlond is apparently composed of harn ("south") + lond ("haven").[5]
The name used by Tolkien on an early map was Harlorn.[6]
