Andrast

Andrast, also known as Ras Morthil, was a long cape to the south-west of Gondor in Middle-earth.
== Description ==
The White Mountains ended their southward bend at the Andrast, and as such it formed an effective barrier to invaders from the north for Gondor. The Drúedain lands extended north along the coast on to the rivers Adorn and Angren, and were collectively known as Drúwaith Iaur or "Old Púkel land".
The climate hovered near the moderate and the extreme with mild winters and hot, dry summers and the terrain consisted of scattered woodlands.The Atlas of Middle-earth, Regional Maps, "The White Mountains"The Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Climate"The Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Vegetation"
== History ==
Andrast was not populated by the Númenóreans of the Realms in Exile, although the Gondorians maintained beacons and a Coast-guard force at the tip of the cape.The Nature of Middle-earth, "Part Three. The World, its Lands, and its Inhabitants: XXII. "The Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor", pg. 386 (entry Levnui) At the end of the Third Age, it was believed the area was still populated by tribes of the Drúedain and other hostile men. The Drúedain were notorious for using poisoned arrows.
