Agar

Agar was a town near the Belegaer, perhaps located in western Gondor.

Geography

The town is mentioned in the story "Tal-Elmar" and of its location little information is given. However, in a note near the end of the story, it is suggested that it was located on the estuary of the Isen or perhaps the Morthond, "three leagues away" from the shores of the Belegaer. The surrounding region was known as the Hills of Agar, perhaps part of the Pinnath Gelin, and characterized by the presence of many fields, while the town itself was situated on the side of a small green hilltop. The town was ruled by a governor known as the "Master of Agar", who gave meetings and announcements in a place called the Moot-hill. It was apparently closer to the Sea than the village of Udul.
