The land of seven rivers
A woodland realm to the east of Beleriand, lying beneath the western foothills of the Blue Mountains. Along the western border of Ossiriand ran one of the great rivers of Beleriand. That, and its six tributaries that ran through the land gave it its name, which means 'land of seven rivers'.
