The Ringló was a cold and swift river in the central regions of Gondor.
Course
The Ringló arose in a valley in the eastern part of Lamedon in a high snowfield , which fed an icy pool that spread into a shallow lake at the snowmelting season. From this source it flowed south-west for about 50 miles to Ethring where the road from the Hill of Erech to Linhir crossed the river. The Ringló continued south-west for another 50 miles to its confluence with the river Ciril and then flowed southwest for another 50 miles to its confluence with the river Morthond upstream of Edhellond before emptying near Cobas Haven into the Bay of Belfalas.
Near the confluence of the Ringló and the Morthond was the ancient Elf-haven of Edhellond. This refuge had been founded at the beginning of the Second Age by a remnant of Elves from Doriath.
After the founding of Gondor, the Ringló served as the boundary between Anfalas to the west and Belfalas to the east.
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. On 10 March T.A. 3019 Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, the Grey Company, and the Army of the Dead crossed the Ringló on their way from Erech to Pelargir.
