The Southern Fiefs were the provinces of Gondor.
They provided much of Minas Tirith's needs: fish from the Ethir, flowers from Lossarnach, and at earlier times, stone from Anórien. The fiefs also provided skilled soldiers.
By the late Third Age, most regions of gondor were either deserted or overrun. During the War of the Ring, only the Southern Fiefs remained.
The Southern Fiefs were:
- Dor-en-Ernil
- Lossarnach
- Lebennin
- Belfalas
- Ethir Anduin
- Lamedon
- Anfalas and the Green Hills
- Blackroot Vale
- Ringló Vale
Inspiration
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.
