The Little Lune was a western tributary of the river Lune. It flowed from its source on the eastern side of the northern part of the Ered Luin eastwards until its confluence with the Lune.
The Little Lune was the northern border of the elven realm of Lindon and north of it was Dwarf territory. This territory included dwarf-mines close to the northern end of the Ered Luin, in which Arvedui, the last king of Arthedain fled after the conquest of Fornost Erain by the troops of Angmar in T.A. 1974.
