Desdursyton
Desdûrsyton (D.S."Plain of the Steppe-Children") lay along the southeastern shores of the Gulf of Ûtum, just above the mouth of the mighty Talathrant. It was heavily wooded and occupied a traditionally strategic spot in north-central Middle-earth. It was best known, though, as the home of the Táratalamëar, a great mere situated atop the Táraparsa, Endor's largest butte. The Desdûrsya - a fierce, Tyran-speaking people - considered the Táratalamëar (which they called "Gerlkûneshe," the "Spirit-mere") their spiritual centre.
