-In the early years of the [[Third Age]], the northwest of [[Middle-earth]] was dominated by two mighty Númenórean Kingdoms, [[Arnor]] in the north and [[Gondor]] in the south. Between them lay a narrow land that properly belonged to neither kingdom, known as [[Enedwaith]]. Through this land ran a road built by the [[Exiles of Númenor|Númenórean Exiles]] to connect their realms. A traveller journeying southward through Enedwaith along the [[North-South Road]] would eventually come to the point where it crossed the River [[Isen]] (then known by its [[Elvish]] name of '[[Angren]]'). The crossing of the [[Fords of Isen]]—the Ethraid Engrin as they were known in those times—marked the point of entry into the southern land of Gondor.
