History[]
After the Fall of Númenor and the tumults that followed the Change of the World, the isle of Tolfalas was nearly destroyed leaving behind a barren rocky mountain-like island set in the Bay of Belfalas.[2] It is unknown whether anyone lived there or not or if it was used as a harbor for Gondor's ships.
Etymology[]
Tolfalas was a Sindarin word that meant 'coastal island'.[3]
