Himlad was a cold land lying between the Rivers Aros and Celon, right below Himring, in the northeast of Beleriand; it communicated with Lothlann through the Pass of Aglon.[1]
During the Siege of Angband it was held by Celegorm and Curufin who guarded the Pass,[2] but they failed at the Dagor Bragollach.[3]
Etymology
The name comes from him "cool"[4] and lad "plain"
