Lossarnach

Lossarnach, also named the Vale of Flowers, was a fertile region and fiefdom in Southern Gondor south of the White Mountains. It was the region closest to Minas Tirith.
== Description ==
Lossarnach was located southwest of Minas Tirith and directly east of Lebennin. The river Anduin bordered its southern and eastern sides, while it met the White Mountains at its northern end. One vale of Lossarnach was Imloth Melui. The climate hovered near the moderate and the extreme with mild winters and hot, dry summersThe Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Climate" and the terrain consisted of scattered woodlands on undulating lowlands.The Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Vegetation"
== History ==
At the end of the Third Age, its lord was Forlong "the Fat", who led two hundred men to Minas Tirith's aid. Forlong was killed in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, but many of his men survived and accompanied Aragorn II Elessar to the Black Gate, even though most of them were farmers.
Lossarnach was populated by many refugees from Ithilien and Osgiliath. In the War of the Ring, most women and children from Minas Tirith were sent there. Famous denizens of Lossarnach included the wise-woman Ioreth who served in the Houses of Healing of Minas Tirith, and Morwen Steelsheen, wife of King Thengel of Rohan.Unfinished Tales, Part Three: The Third Age, chapter V: "The Battles of the Fords of Isen"
