Dor-lómin

Dor-lómin, the "Land of Echoes", was the southwestern part of Hithlum, bordered in the east by the Mountains of Mithrim, and in the north by the river which formed the Rainbow Cleft, also known as Annon-in-Gelydh ("Gate of the Noldor"). It was first colonized by the Noldor shortly after they arrived in Middle-earth, and for a long time was ruled by Fingon son of Fingolfin, before he took over as High King of the Noldor after his father was killed. By this time the Edain known as the House of Marach had entered Beleriand, and Fingon granted them the land of Dor-lómin as a fief. Húrin's house was built in its southwestern corner near the mountain known as Amon Darthir, where the river Nen Lalaith began. After the Dagor Bragollach, Fingolfin was slain and Fingon fled to the Falas, so Dor-lómin fell to Hurin.
