Mae govannen, mellon-nin! This is the fifth suggestion in the series detailing improvements to various biomes of Middle-earth, and we here shall be talking about the southern Vales of Anduin. This is the area between the Golden Wood and the Emyn Muil. The prior suggestions can be found here:

Emyn Muil

Dead Marshes

Barrow-downs

Old Forest New Biomes:

- Anduin Woods: A dedicated subbiome for the Vale of Anduin forests. These are found along both banks of the Anduin between Lorien and the Undeeps.

- Anduin Marsh: A small marsh of reeds found along the western shore of Anduin between the Undeeps and Sarn Gebir, and along the Limlight River. It is a marshbed of reeds and rushes, and many small birds are found here. Black Swans are unique to this biome.

- Sarn Gebir: A stretch of the river filled with eyeots and rocks, and it is dangerous to travel by boat.

- Emyn Muil Slopes: The long slopes of the Emyn Muil, a hilled land of ridge and rock. The slopes are covered in creepers and thorns, there are crumbling cliffs, and rocky ridges cowned with ivy and fir trees. Dells and holes dot the landscape, along with bushes and boggy pools. Upon the west side, there is a portage-way that leads along the stretch of Sarn Gebir to rejoin the river below the rapids. Upon the eastern side, Mordor Orcs spawn, and the land is browner and slightly more dead. Fog can be a problem in this biome. Biome Improvements:

The Brown Lands biome could do with a few improvements. In the book, it is stated that there are not even dead trees and boulders, yet both of these are in the mod. These should probably be removed to fit the book, along with any rivers found in the biome.

I shall cover improvements to Rohan and the Wold in the next suggestion.

Thank you for reading this suggestion! As always, comments, kudos, and constructive critiscism is welcome.
