Â Eriador

Minhiriath was a land of grassy plains and some woodlands.
Minhiriath - meaning "between the rivers" - was the name given to the southwestern part of Eriador between the Brandywine River and the Greyflood.
In the year 861 of the Third Age, the Kingdom of Arnor was divided into three kingdoms: Arthedain, Cardolan, and Rhudaur.

Â Swansinging by Martin Baker

Far to the west in a haze lay the meres and eyots through which it wound its way to the Greyflood: there countless swans housed in a land of reeds.
What manner of swans might these have been?

Â Eriador: 07/06/2003 - 07/12/2003

This borderline would cut right between Minhiriath and Enedwaith but it would also leave Dunland out of Eriador and direct influence of the Dunedains with whom there was not the most heartly feelings hence they were ancestors of the Numenorians.
the borderline from Tharbad further East is uncertain but presumeably it would follow the river Greyflood to Lond Daer at the sea.
Eriador was all the countries East / West between Hithaeglir, the Mountains of Angmar and Ered Luin and the Tower hills and North / South the Icebay of Forochel / Forodwaith; the Northern Waste and river Glanduin who came from Hithaeglir running to Tharbad over Nin-in-Eilph.

His journey goes awry when his horse is lost at the crossing of the Fords of Greyflood at Tharbad and even though it takes months for him to reach Rivendell, his path does not waver because of his undying hope.
He takes on the quest given to him by his father to travel to the northern realms in search of an answer to the ancient riddle of Isildur's Bane.
Finally, I think Boromir's last stand defending Merry and Pippin at Sarn Gebir is the most poignant example of his role as a protector and a noble friend.

But from then onwards the region fell quickly into decay.-- Unfinished Tales, "The History of Celeborn and Galadriel"
In the Tale of Years the ruining and desertion of Tharbad is dated to the year 2912 of the Third Age, when great floods devastated Enedwaith and Minhiriath.
t may be noted that Tharbad is referred to as "a ruined town" in [FotR], and that Boromir in Lothlórien told that he lost his horse at Tharbad, at the fording of the Greyflood.

Oddly, when DEVLAN himself appeared on the scene Dilila left in a huff.
The Dunlending caravan has forded the turbulent Greyflood without major incident - one pack was swept away, but there was no loss of life, nor injury to man or beast.
As the Dunlendings set up camp for the evening (it being too late to cross the Greyflood that day), a red-haired and red-faced CECILIA caused a distraction by stomping angrily past, rubbing her fist and muttering about folk having hard faces.

It was late on a day in mid-September when Boromir finally came upon the road that would take him to Tharbad and across the River Greyflood.
He was uncertain now whether it would be better to follow the road, no matter how faint, or to follow the Greyflood and the Hoarwell Rivers back towards the northeast.

Aldarion visited Tharbad sometime after he became King of Numenor in 883 of the Second Age, and there he met Galadriel who lived in the nearby Elven-realm of Eregion.
In 1700, during Sauron 's invasion of Eriador, his forces captured the Crossing of Tharbad, which had been lightly guarded.
Tharbad was at the head of the Greyflood, where the river was formed by the merging of the Hoarwell and marshy lower course of the Glanduin known as Swanfleet.

In Enedwaith (Middle-land) and Minhiriath (Sindarin for Land between the Rivers) lived a group of Men related to those Men that became the House of Haleth, and they were known as the Dunlendings.
When Elendil founded the Kingdom of Arnor its borders were quickly extended towards the river Greyflood (Sind: GwathlÃ³), and Gondor likewise extended up through Enedwaith.

Â Elendor MUSH - Role Play Logs

The river here looks deep, with little sign to the uninitiated eye that it is fordable; the only signs that it was once bridged are the stumps of a few jagged pillars and the fact that here and there the water burbles as though there were rocks just under the surface.
As the road descends into the lowlands of the Greyflood, it is surrounded by swamps, until it has become a mere causeway, and even that threatens to disappear into the surrounding fens: now and then one is forced to wade across places the road itself has washed out and disappeared.
Not far across the Greyflood as the crow flies you can see the ruins of Tharbad, but it will take a major effort to get there, for there is no bridge any more, only a deep ford crossed by a strong current.

When Elendil arrived at Lindon with four ships of Faithful Numenoreans, Eriador was already well-populated by Elves, men of Edainic descent, Numenoreans, men of mixed heritage, and men who are probably best described as "Easterlings".
