  Encyclopedia of Arda: River Lefnui   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The westernmost of the many rivers of southern Gondor, the Lefnui rose in the far west of the White Mountains.
It followed an erratic course through the lands west of the hills of Pinnath Gelin, until it emptied into the Bay of Belfalas through a long narrow firth.
These sea-going marauders landed at Lefnui's mouth on their mission to overrun and destroy the Rohirrim, though they would eventually be defeated.

The Langstrand, or Anfalas, sits between Pinnath Gelin and the Bay of Belfalas, and between the Lefnui and Calenhir rivers.
Upon Gondor's western periphery, between the Calenhir and Lefnui rivers, lie the Pinnath Gelin, the Green Hills of Gondor.
Sundered as it is from both the Ered Nimrais and the Bay of Belfalas by many leagues, it is a rare thing for either Orcs or Corsairs to set foot upon the Green Hills.

 Official ICE Forums - a basic War strategy question   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
You will want the mountains and the Lefnui river to screen your back (those natural features are hard to pass and easy to defend) while you move your army into the area, and at the same time use the river for transportation (of troops and supplies).
This requires that you control the Lond Nornin (especially the city that I can't read the name of) and the city at the mouth of the river.
I would then land a real army at the mouth of the Lefnui to take Annulond, Annodrun and the fortress at the south.

The source of water in the Ered Nimrais has not been seen as the ground proves to tough to travel and the river too swift to follow upstream.
Other than its barrier to travel Ered Lefnui and the sea, its greatest feature is the joining at the River Gelin which empties into it.

Their retreat to Eregion seems surprising, for the Noldorin Gwaith-i-Mírdain had already set up their community there; but presumably it was too small and inaccessible to be of much concern to the Proto-Dunlendings as they might now be called.
Wulf, no pure Dunlending but a renegade of mostly Rohirric origin and in the west-march held in high esteem, had successfully negotiated with the Corsairs of Umbar who, stirred by Sauron, at the same time were raiding the coasts around the Bay of Belfalas and beyond.
Gondor was again asked for help, but due to the raids of as much as three Corsair fleets at its own coasts, once more she could not send any.

This one actually mentions the seven rivers (Lefnui, Morthond-Kiril-Ringló, Gilraen-Sernui, and Anduin) that flowed into the Sea in the South Kingdom, and uses the Gondorian name, of High-elvish form, Fíriel, mortal woman (the name was born by a princess of Gondor, through whom Aragorn claimed descent from the Southern line.
It was also the name of a daughter of Elanor, daughter of Sam, but her name, if connected with the rhyme, must have derived from it; it could not have arisen in Westmarch).
