The river as depicted in The Rings of Power
The Siril was the chief river of Númenor.
It rose in springs from the Meneltarma, and flowed southwards to the sea in through a sandy delta, which formed the border between the provinces of Hyarrostar and Hyarnustar.[1]
Etymology[]
Siril is a Quenya word that meant "rivulet". It came from the word sir, meaning 'river', though the origin of the second element il is unclear.[citation needed]
In adaptations[]
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power[]
The Siril is shown to flow through Armenelos, instead of to its west. Much of the river passed through a rocky gorge, into the sides of which are carved stone faces. These are referred to as the King Stones.[2]
