Methir (S. "Last Stream") was the second-largest town in Harondor in the mid-Third Age, home to more than 8,000 Citizens in the time of the Ship-kings. Since it began as a river port at the time of the first Númenorean settlement along the Anduin, its people had always been fishermen, traders, or artisans. The lowlands of the Anduin across from Pelargir were also called the Methir, and the town, in the old days, was the major market-place of western Harondor and the focus for local trade with Pelargir and the Lebennin.
