Swans of Gorbelgod

| This article is non-canon. |
The Swans of Gorbelgod were a race of swans, told about in legends on Númenor. They were apparently white and of an unusually great size, greater than normal birds.[1] Little more can be said about these creatures, and where the site of Gorbelgod was situated.
[edit] Other versions of the Legendarium
In the manuscript, J.R.R. Tolkien at first used the name Dur nor-Belgoth, which was changed to Gorbelgod.[2]
