: Well, I suppose it depends of how far down the Celduin you
mean. After reaching the Old Dwarf Road, the river takes a sharp
turn to the southeast, flowing about 250 miles before meeting the
River Carnen. The lands through which it flows southeast of
Mirkwood do not seem to have been heavily populated; you would
probably stand a better chance of meeting robbers or roving
easterling bands than of finding a civilized town. I would
assume then that any trading partners 'down river' would probably
be either Woodmen living in the eastern eaves of Mirkwood, or the
remnant of the Northmen who formally inhabited the plains of
Rhovanion or possibly the East Bight of Mirkwood.That brings up a thought I had once when reading FOTR -- which is
what roads the dwarves, etc. took when delivering the "birthday
toys" to Hobbiton from Dale. Must have been one heck of a
journey, with all those heavy wains, especially in those times of
peri
