Thargelion, earlier known as Talath Rhúnen[1] and later known as Dor Caranthir, was a flat wooded region of East Beleriand, east of the river Gelion, bordering the Blue Mountains. It was north of the river Ascar, and therefore not counted as part of Ossiriand. Its northern end was Lake Helevorn.[2]
History
The Sindar called this land Talath Rhúne. After the Rebellion of the Noldor this was the land of Caranthir, one of the Sons of Fëanor, and after him it was often called Dor Caranthir, "Caranthir's Land".[3] Caranthir controlled the trade with the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains.
The Haladin briefly dwelt here, near the river Ascar, until they were nearly wiped out in an Orc-raid.
After Dagor Bragollach it was overrun by Orcs and the Noldor abandoned it.[source?]
Etymology
Thargelion is a Sindarin name, consisting of thar- ("across, over") and Gelion.[4]
Talath Rhúnen means "Eastern Plain".[source?]
