Ringló Vale

The valley was on the southern side of the White Mountains, in the east of the province of Lamedon in Gondor. The river Ringló had its source in a high snowfield, which fed an icy pool that spread into a shallow lake at the snowmelting season in the valley.

The road from the Hill of Erech to Linhir crossed the Ringló at Ethring about 50 miles downstream near the south-western end of the valley.

During the War of the Ring on 9 March 3019 Dervorin, the son of the lord of Ringló Vale arrived in Minas Tirith on foot with a company of three hundred men to aid in the city's defence. In addition, a few hillmen without a captain from Lamedon arrived at the city. On 10 March Third Age 3019 Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, the Grey Company, and the Army of the Dead crossed the Ringló on their way from Erech to Pelargir.

Ringló is a Sindarin name, which means "Chillflood". It its composed of the elements ring ("cold", "chill") and ló ("flood").

The name of the river referred to its source, a high snowfield, which fed an icy pool that spread into a shallow lake at the snowmelting season.

2014: The Lord of the Rings Online:

Ringló Vale was an area in the region of Central Gondor, located east of Lamedon in Western Gondor and north of Dor-en-Ernil. Its emblem was a golden trout on a blue field. During the War of the Ring, the elderly "Lord Borhador" ruled from the Crossing-Hall in Ethring, the only settlement. He was assisted by his other son "Arvaethor" in Dervorin's absence. The Vale was threatened by spiders, White Mountain Orcs, Corsair scouts, and the twice-traitorous Oathbreakers known as the Ruthless Dead. Southwest of Ethring was the beacon of "Eilendoth".
