The One Wiki to Rule Them All

East Beleriand was the eastern region of Beleriand, located between West Beleriand and the Blue Mountains during the First Age of Middle-earth.

Description[]

The wide and open regions of Lothlann, Maglor's Gap, Thargelion, and Ossiriand made up the majority of East Beleriand.[1] They were lands consisting mostly of hills and lowlands with dense forests[2], scattered woodlands, scrubs, stunted trees, and thickets.[3] The climate would have varied from severely cold and dry winters with short and cold summers, to mild winters and summers, all of which were under the influence of the cold and dry winds from Dor Daidelos and the Iron Mountains to the north, and the warm and moist winds coming from the sea.[4]

History[]

Before the Return of the Ñoldor, the areas of East Beleriand were inhabited by the Laiquendi living in Ossiriand and the Sindar in other parts. When the Ñoldor did return, the majority of the region was under control of the Sons of Fëanor. They built extensive fortresses in the area between Lothlann and Thargelion which buttressed Morgoth's domain in the farther north. The dominant languages during this time were Sindarin and Quenya but later there were also mannish speeches as well.

By the later First Age, more and more of this land fell under the power of Morgoth until it was finally conquered by the Dark Lord. It, along with the rest of Beleriand, was destroyed after the War of Wrath. However, some of it did survive into the Second and Third Ages becoming Lindon, the land of Gil-galad and then Círdan the Shipwright.[5]
