Lammoth

The shoreland region of the Great Echo

Map of Lammoth

Called the 'Great Echo'; a shoreland region in the far north where Ungoliant set upon Melkor, and was in turn driven into the south by Balrogs from Angband.


Notes

1

The name 'Great Echo' comes from Morgoth's cries when he was assaulted here by Ungoliant after their return to Middle-earth. It was said that anybody who shouted aloud here would awaken the echoes again, and the Echoing Mountains of Ered Lómin to the east would ring with cries of pain.
