Background lore

@Eriol_Eandur has made a google document with some really useful information about the lore of Anorién:

Anórien

Introduction

Anorién is a brand new project on MCME. The goal with this project is to upgrade the old default World-Painter terrain of Anorién as well as upgrading some of the towns and forests because let's be honest, they are a bit outdated and could look a lot better.

Geology

Terrain: The terrain in Anorién is quite flat, apart from some smaller hills closer to the White Mountains. BWOT made a heightmap showing this: (http://imgur.com/a/QxEkjWA)
Weather: Anorien is located north of the White mountains, which means that all the weather that comes from the sea, wouldn’t reach Anorien. Therefore there is little rain and little wind.

Water: There are some streams and rivers in Anorièn, the most noticeable being the Anduin north of Anorièn. Most of the villages is close to these water sources.

Rocks: As Anorién is a grassland there won’t be a lot of rocks. However, there might be some rocks really close to the White Mountains.

Vegetation: Because of the little rainfall is Anorièn a grassland. Pictures of the vegetation concept:
