Anfalas (often rendered into English in the the archaic form 'Langstrand') is a region of Gondor, spanning the coast between the Morthond and Lefnui rivers.
Summary
Its people were probably mostly pre-Númenórean in origin - of the same sort of "fisher-folk" who fled from Edhellond towards the mountains when the Elves arrived there. By the end of the Third Age, Anfalas seems to have been a poor region, far from the great cities of eastern Gondor, characterised by subsistence farming and hunting. However, they were loyal to Gondor:
From the Anfalas, the Langstrand far away, a long line of men of many sorts, hunters and herdsmen and men of little villages, scantily equipped save for the household of Golasgil their lord.
Anfalas contains the following settlements:
- Town 1 - coastal, mostly trading with Dol Amroth (300)
- Town 2 - along the Morthond river (175)
- Village (100)
- 5 hamlets (50-75 each)
- 10 farmsteads

- P11 - West- and middle-Mediterranean sand-dune vegetation complexes
