Swans of Gorbelgod
From Tolkien Gateway
The Swans of Gorbelgod were a race of swans remembered in legend on Númenor. They were white and of an unusually great size.[1] Little else is known about these creatures, or about the location of Gorbelgod.
Other versions of the legendarium
In the manuscript, J.R.R. Tolkien used the name Dur nor-Belgoth and changed it later to Gorbelgod.[2]
