2/3/2024 0 Comments Angband lotr map![]() 'There are fell beasts,' they said, 'in the land east of the mountains, and your ancient kindred that dwell there are flying from the plains to the hills.'Īnd ere long the evil creatures came even to Beleriand, over passes in the mountains, or up from the south through the dark forests. "But as the third age of the captivity of Melkor drew on, the Dwarves became troubled, and they spoke to King Thingol, saying that the Valar had not rooted out utterly the evils of the North, and now the remnant, having long multiplied in the dark, were coming forth once more and roaming far and wide. In fact Dwarves of Blue Mountains told of that to Thingol before first battle, and Morgoth's return: And it seems that even while waging war with Elves, his dark creatures were wandering all over beyond Ered Luin. While Morgoth certainly was concentrated on Beleriand focusing on the elf realms, he was also free to spread his influence outside. The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch 13, Of the Return of the Noldor Thus in his rear and to the north Morgoth had no foes, and by that way his spies at times went out, and came by devious routes into Beleriand." Nor could the stronghold of Morgoth be ever wholly encircled: for the Iron Mountains, from whose great curving wall the towers of Thangorodrim were thrust forward, defended it upon either side, and were impassable to the Noldor, because of their snow and ice. and war never wholly ceased in all that time of the Siege. "Yet the Noldor could not capture Angband. The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Ch 14, Of Beleriand and Its Realms Before the gates of Angband filth and desolation spread southward for many miles over the wide plain of Ard-galen." But above this gate, and behind it even to the mountains, he piled the thunderous towers of Thangorodrim, that were made of the ash and slag of his subterranean furnaces. Beneath Ered Engrin he made a great tunnel, which issued south of the mountains and there he made a mighty gate. and when he came back to Middle-earth., he took up his abode in the endless dungeons of Angband, the Hells of Iron. Behind the walls of Ered Engrin in the west, where they bent back northwards, Melkor built another fortress. "In the north of the world Melkor had in the ages past reared Ered Engrin, the Iron Mountains, as a fence to his citadel of Utumno and they stood upon the borders of the regions of everlasting cold, in a great curve from east to west. One important thing to remember is that even during the Siege of Angband, Morgoth and his forces were not really fully contained within the bounds of Iron Mountains: There are other Tolkien-themed subreddits out there!
