| | |
| The early versions of the Legendarium included the notion of a land in the uttermost east of Arda.
| |
| | |
| In the ''[[The Ambarkanta|Ambarkanta]]'', the '''Eastern Land''', known to the Elves of Aman as the '''Land of the Sun'''<ref name=5b>{{SM|5b}}</ref> or the '''Burnt Land of the Sun'''<ref name=A5>{{SM|A5}}</ref>, was a land east of [[Middle-earth]] where the [[Sun]] rose at dawn.
| |
| | |
| Little was known of its geography. There was a great, curve-shaped mountain range called the [[Wall of the Sun]], that corresponded symmetrically to the [[Pelóri Mountains]] of [[Aman]].<ref name=5b/><ref name=LT1>{{LT1|IX}}</ref>.

| | |
| ==Other versions of the legendarium==
| |
| | |
| In the ''[[Book of Lost Tales]]'', the easternmost land of Arda is called ''[[Oronto]]'' ("East" in [[Qenya]]<ref>{{LT1|Appendix}}</ref>),<ref> in which stood the huge peak [[Kalórmë]].
| |
| | |
| ==Portrayal in adaptations==
| |
| In the game ''[[Middle-earth Role Playing]]'' by [[Iron Crown Enterprises]], a [[Sindarin]] name for the land — Romenor (Easternesse) — was given,{{fact}} although it does not appear in any of [[Tolkien]]'s writings. This name is also used in [[Michael Martinez]]' ''[[Parma Endorion]]''.
