Ossiriand as a whole?

... well its Tol Galen, which is in Ossiriand... don't do that again, got to say an exact place, not a region... your turn legate.

Well, the problem is one can say a region as much as anything else... especially with little regions it is a problem, or, what if you have a region where there's nothing? Although, I expected you, if it's a part of the region I said, to simply say "no, it's a part of it" and we'll continue running around the small places until it's found... :( That's why I intentionally wrote the words "as whole" as distinction so that you could say "no, not as whole, just a part". Shame, I suggest we do it like that in further cases.

Anyway, when it's already my turn... from Tol Galen, let's go to the north-west.

The Falls of Sirion?

Still North-West.

the Firth of Drengist

Now I would like to know what I had in mind :)

*takes out the map of Beleriand*

Please wait, loading...

Ah! I have it. I know what I had in mind.

East.

How did you know? :)

Your turn.

I read your thoughts...

Anyways, from Cirith Ninniach, let us go east, so far east that we again enter Middle-earth.

Okay, so let's say, Minas Tirith, for start?

That would be rather south east, don't you think?
Go north, pilgrim!

At least I know it's not more East.

What about Amon Lanc? :D

What about Mountains of Mirkwood then?

Mts of Mirkwood -> north
Mt Gundabad -> east

Withered Heath, then?

Ah, nice... all right... from here, we go to... hum, hmm... south :)

Nope. Still south.

Precisely. Your turn, give us a direction.

Ok, now from this lovely waterfront take a turn towards north-west.

Are you sure this is north-west?

I would say Fangorn.

Gollum, you need to direct your steps way towards south-west. :)

Legate, you're heading in the right direction so keep on going north-west.

What about Tharbad, then?

From Tharbad towards east.

And the road goes ever...westwards.
