Hither Shore
From Tolkien Gateway
- "On Hither Shores where mortals are."
- ― Song of Eärendil[1]
Hither Shore was a term used especially by the Elves for the mortal lands of Middle-earth, a reminder of the far distant shores of Aman.[2][3]
In Sindarin of the First Age, it also had a more specific meaning, since it translates into that language as the name Nevrast, a cold seaward region in the northwest of Beleriand.[4]
