Celebrant (translated as Silverlode) was a stream rising in the eastern Misty Mountains from the Mirrormere in the Dimrill Dale. It then ran through Lothlórien where it was met by the Nimrodel river, and emptied into the Anduin.

History

In T.A. 2994 an army of orcs came up the Silverlode and wiped out the colony of Dwarves dwelling in Moria.[1]

Around November T.A. 3018 Elladan and Elrohir, sent by Elrond to a secret errand, passed down the Silverlode into a "strange country" and were the last to return to Rivendell, in December.[2]

The Fellowship of the Ring followed this river when they travelled from Moria to Lothlórien.[2]

Etymology

Celebrant is a Sindarin name, consisting of celeb, "silver" and rant, "course".[3]

The element lode in Silverlode means "course, water-channel".[4]

These names were also a translation of Kibil-nâla in Khuzdul, the language of Dwarves. An earlier name is also given as Zigilnâd.[5]
