From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Andrast was a long cape in the south-west of Gondor.
Also known as Ras Morthil, the Andrast was nominally part of Gondor, but it was not populated by the Númenóreans. At the end of the Third Age, it was believed the area was still populated by tribes of the Drúedain.
The White Mountains ended their southward bend at the Andrast, and as such it formed an effective barrier to invaders from the north for Gondor.
