Nogrod was one of two Dwarven cities in the Ered Luin. Nogrod lay in the middle of the mountain range, near Mount Dolmed where the Dwarf-road of Beleriand crossed into Eriador. It was home to the Dwarven House known as the Firebeards. Its name in Khuzdul was Tumunzahar meaning "Hollowbold". Nogrod translates as "Hollowbold". Nogrod was also the home to the great Dwarven smiths Gamil Zirak and Telchar.
