Dorthonion


a region of beleriand, in the north, just to the south of ard-galen/anfauglith and separated by a thin strip of land from doriath to the south. it is a plateau surrounded by tall mountains which can be reached only via a few dangerous p-sses, which seem to lead mainly to nan dungortheb. notable features include rivil’s well and tarn aeluin.

its role in tolkien’s book the silmarillion is mainly as a site of a rearguard action by a small, heroic band of 14 outlaws led by the human king barahir and including his son, beren. it was overrun by morgoth’s forces after dagor bragollach, and became a scene of guerrilla battles until eventually only the 14 remained, har-ssing orkish patrols in the region. after sauron crushed the outlaws, it was renamed taur-nu-fuin.
sadly, the exploits of the outlaws were never turned into fully-fledged tales.
