On Hither Shores where mortals are.

Eärendillinwë^[1]

Hither Shore was a term used especially by the Elves for the mortal lands of Middle-earth, a reminder of the far distant shores of Aman.^[2]^[3]

In Sindarin of the First Age, it also had a more specific meaning, since it translates into that language as the name Nevrast, a cold seaward region in the northwest of Beleriand.^[4]
