Anteliaan

Anteliaan is a fictional geographical location that appears in the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien. It is primarily mentioned in his historical and linguistic writings related to the world of Arda, the setting for The Lord of the Rings. Anteliaan is described as a region located in the ancient kingdom of Númenor, a powerful island civilization that flourished in the Second Age of Middle-earth.

Within Tolkien's legendarium, Númenor was a land of great beauty and advanced culture, inhabited by the Dúnedain, the descendants of the Edain who aided the Valar in the First Age. Anteliaan was one of the regions or provinces within this island kingdom. Details about its specific geography, inhabitants, or cultural significance are not extensively elaborated upon in Tolkien's published works. Its mention serves to add depth and realism to the historical and geographical framework of Númenor, contributing to the overall complexity of his created world. The name itself, like many in Tolkien's vocabulary, has philological roots that he meticulously developed.
