Palisor was the name for the 'Midmost Region' of the 'Great Lands' of Arda (the future Middle-earth) described in The Book of Lost Tales Part One and Beren and Lúthien.
According to The Atlas of Middle-earth, Palisor lay between the Iron Mountains, the Misty Mountains, the Orocarni, and the Hither Lands with the Sea of Helcar in the center.[1]
History[]
Palisor is described as the place where the Elves first awoke, and was the location of a lake named Cuiviénen, the Water of Awakening.[2] It was a place where great pinewood forests existed and murmured with strange noises in these early days.[3] The area was long populated with Dark Elves,[4] and would later evolve into the land of Rhûn, Rhovanion, and possibly Mordor and Khand.[1]
