The Pinnath Gelin, or Green Hills, was a fertile, hilled and sparsely populated country in western Gondor between the western White Mountains and Anfalas.[1]
Description[]
The climate likely hovered between moderate and extreme, with mild winters and hot, dry summers. Its terrain consisted of hilly scattered woodlands.[2][3]
History[]
At the time of the War of the Ring, Hirluin the Fair was the lord of the region. As Pinnath Gelin was a loyal fief of Gondor, Hirluin led a contingent of some 300 men, gallant, well-armed and clad in green, who marched to the aid of Minas Tirith, fighting in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Hirluin was killed by Orcs during the ensuing battle, never returning to his home.[4]
Etymology[]
Pinnath Gelin is Sindarin for 'green slopes'[5] or 'green hills', from Pinnath, which means 'ridges', and calen -> gelin, meaning 'green'.
