Carnen

The Carnen, also known as the Redwater, was a river in the region of Rhovanion in Middle-earth.
The Carnen originated in the Iron Hills and was east of the Lonely Mountain. It flowed southward before emptying into the River Running, which was about 250 Númenórean miles to the south. This river, in turn, flowed past the land of Dorwinion and into the Sea of Rhûn.The Atlas of Middle-earth, Regional Maps, "Wilderland"
In the War of the Ring, in the year TA 3019, a large force of Easterlings under Sauron's command crossed and forded this river on their way to attack the Dwarf realm of the Lonely Mountain and the Mannish kingdom of Dale.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), "The Great Years"
==Etymology==
Carnen is a Sindarin name meaning "Redwater", consisting of the words caran ("red") and nen ("water; lake, pool; lesser river").Carnen on eldamo.org
It is possible that Redwater is a translation of the name for the river in the common tongue.The Complete Guide to Middle-earth
==In adaptations==
In The Lord of the Rings Online, the origins of river Carnen can be found in the Ironfold region. It begins as six streams flowing into the Iron Hills from the nearby mountains, all shallow and rust-brown in colour. Across the Iron Hills, the streams eventually join into a single river, which then plummets down through several waterfalls into the area called "the Barding-lands", clearing it of sediment before it flows further to the south.
