East Beleriand

East Beleriand was almost entirely consumed by the Great Sea during the War of Wrath, but certain regions around its borders survived that cataclysm. Notably, much of the land eastward, across the river Gelion from East Beleriand, remained above the Sea as the land of Lindon. The Hill of Himring, on East Beleriand's northern fringes, also survived as a small island off the coasts of Middle-earth, becoming known in later ages as Himling.

Outside Doriath, East Beleriand and its northern march was under the power of the Sons of Fëanor, at least until they were driven out after the Dagor Bragollach. The elder brother Maedhros held Himring, the fortified hill that guarded the northern passes, and his brother Maglor held the low ground eastward. Celegorm and Curufin dwelt in Himlad, to the northwest of East Beleriand southward of Maedhros' fortress. The twins Amrod and Amras held lands further southward, to the east of Doriath. Finally, the seventh brother Caranthir did not strictly dwell in East Beleriand, but across the river Gelion in the lands that came to be known as Dor Caranthir after their master.
