In briefanswer capsule

The Emyn Muil are bleak grey hills on the southern edge of Wilderland, above the Dead Marshes. Along the Anduin they rise as dark heights that block the sun, with no opening in view. Rock and thorn mark the approaches. Between Southern Mirkwood and these hills lie the Brown Lands. Gondor in its greatness did not rule the Anduin beyond them; a portage once carried small craft from Wilderland toward Osgiliath.
