Glaurung at Ivrin, Velhagen

Glaurung crossing the falls in the year of his demise, by Eric Velhagen

Eithel Ivrin, also known as Falls of Ivrin and Pools of Ivrin, were springs from the river Narog at the south side of the Ered Wethrin, in Beleriand.

The waters of the springs were crystal pure and some of the most refreshing bodies of water in all Middle-earth.

History[]

As the power of Ulmo was strong in these parts of Middle-earth, the Eithel Ivrin was kept in his protection. In FA 20, the Eithel Ivrin was the place where the Mereth Aderthad was held in the early days of the First Age. Túrin was led here by Gwindor to refresh himself after he had accidentally killed his friend, Beleg Cúthalion, mistaking him for a foe.

Years later, the Eithel Ivrin were defiled by an army led by Glaurung on its way to assail Nargothrond, and were eventually destroyed after the War of Wrath along with everything else in Beleriand.[1][2]

Etymology[]

Eithel Ivrin is Sindarin, meaning "springs of Ivrin."[3]
