The Southern Fiefs were:
- Dor-en-Ernil
- Lossarnach
- Lebennin
- Belfalas
- Ethir Anduin
- Lamedon
- Anfalas and the Green Hills
- Blackroot Vale
- Ringló Vale

A fiefdom is, in feudalism, a piece of inheritable land given to a vassal. The vassal returned this gift with (military) allegiance, revenue, or both.
