The Noman-lands were a desolate region southeast of the Dead Marshes and northwest of the Desolation of the Morannon.
Southeast of the Dead Marshes lay arid moors with dead peats and wide flats of dry cracked mud that were followed by barren and pitiless long shallow rising slopes.
Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum passed through the Noman-lands on 2 March and 3 March, T.A. 3019. On their journey to the Black Gate, upon reaching the living lands and entering the desolate ones that stretched out in front of the Gate, the Host of the West could see the "marshes and the desert that stretched north and west to the Emyn Muil". This desert was almost certainly the Noman-lands.
