Thargelion
From the One Wiki to Rule Them All, the Lord of the Rings Encyclopedia.
Thargelion was a land in the eastern part of the Beleriand.
Thargelion literally meant 'beyond Gelion', as it was east of the river Gelion. It was north of the river Ascar, and therefore not counted as part of Ossiriand.
After the Rebellion of the Ñoldor this land was committed to the rule of Caranthir, the fourth Son of Fëanor, and after him it was often called Dor Caranthir.
The Haladin briefly dwelt here until they were nearly wiped out in an orc-raid.
Most of Thargelion was destroyed after the War of Wrath but some of it survived becoming part of Forlindon (North Lindon).[1]
