The Ered Wethrin was a mountain range in the north of Middle-earth in the First Age.

History[]

In the south, Ered Wethrin was an east-west range that divided Dor-lómin and Mithrim to the north from Beleriand to the south, then in the east it curved around to the northwest, forming the boundary of Hithlum. A line of hills to the southwest formed the southern boundary of Nevrast, while the Mountains of Mithrim were a northwesterly spur that separated Dor-lómin from Mithrim from the pool or Ivrin to Tol Sirion. Several rivers arose in the Ered Wethrin, including Narog, Teiglin, and Sirion. The easternmost point of the Ered Wethrin reached nearly to the Echoriad, forming a steep-sided valley known as the Pass of Sirion through which the upper Sirion ran.[1]

The Ered Wethrin disappeared beneath the waves after the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.[2][3]

Etymology[]

Ered Wethrin was Sindarin for 'Mountains of Shadow'.[4]
