Changes: Falls of Rauros

Revision as of 16:55, 13 July 2015

Falls of Rauros or Rauros were the great falls of the River Anduin, where the river fell from the Nen Hithoel to the wetland of Nindalf. It also refers to the area near the falls.

History

At the breaking of the Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo and Sam paddled a boat from the west bank of the river to the east just above the falls and had to use all their strength to avoid being swept over the falls by the current. Shortly afterward Boromir's body was placed in another boat by Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli who sent it over the falls, but it apparently survived the fall; at any rate, soon afterward it was seen by Faramir upon the lower reaches of the Anduin in what felt to him like a dream yet from which there was no waking, and he retrieved Boromir's cloven horn in truth and not in seeming.^{[citation needed]}
