| '''Wetwang''' was the name in [[Westron]] for the pathless fen beneath the [[Emyn Muil]] that the [[Elves]] called [[Nindalf]].<ref name="Farewell">{{FR|II8}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| As the great inland delta of the [[Entwash]] fed Anduin from the west, and Anduin divided into many channels, the marshlands of Wetwang were formed to the east of the Great River, south of the [[Emyn Muil]]. The [[Dead Marshes]] lay further east and may have been an extension of Wetwang.<ref>{{RK|Map}}</ref>

| | |
| On [[16 February]] {{TA|3019}}<ref>{{App|Great}}</ref> [[Celeborn]] warned the [[Fellowship of the Ring]] against becoming lost in the region, recommending instead that those heading to [[Minas Tirith]] leave the river above the Falls of [[Rauros]].<ref name="Farewell"/>
