The translated name of Tol Galen, the large river-island surrounded by the waters of the river Adurant at the southern end of Ossiriand. It was to this green island that Beren and Lúthien retired after their return from death, and during the time that they dwelt there it was known by the name Dor Firn-i-Guinar, the Land of the Dead that Live.
Notes
1 |
The Green Isle was apparently uninhabited before Beren and Lúthien made their home there after their return to life in I 469, and this is the date shown on the timeline for this entry. They lived on the isle for some thirty-four years until their deaths in I 503, after which the island was presumably abandoned. It would have been destroyed in the cataclysm at the end of the First Age, less than a century later.
