	Beleriand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To the west and south it had a long shore with the Great Sea Belegaer, to the north were the highland regions of Hithlum, Dorthonion and the hills of Himring, to the east the Ered Luin (Blue Mountains) reached nearly to the sea.
		In the year 583 of the First Age, Beleriand was mostly destroyed by the War of Wrath of the Valar against Morgoth.
		Beleriand had many different names in Tolkien's early writings (see: The History of Middle-earth): Broceliand, Broseliand, Golodhinand, Noldórinan, Geleriand, Bladorinand, Belaurien, Arsiriand, Lassiriand, Ossiriand (the latter was later used as a name for another realm).

	Battles of Beleriand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These battles are often referred to as the Battles of Beleriand, but also as the War of the Jewels as the Silmarilli were behind them all.
		The First Battle of Beleriand was fought before the Ñoldor arrived, and was fought by the Sindar and Laiquendi.
		The Sixth and Last Battle of Beleriand was the War of Wrath, which ended the First Age of Arda and destroyed Beleriand.

	Encyclopedia of Arda: Beleriand
		Bounded to the north and east by mountain chains, and to the south and west by the Great Sea, Beleriand and the lands to the north were the setting for much of the Silmarillion.
		Originally, the name 'Beleriand' applied only to the country around the Bay of Balar, but as time passed the name came to be given to the entire land.
		In the final battle that saw the ultimate defeat of Morgoth, Beleriand was broken and destroyed - only parts of Ossiriand in the east remained, to be renamed Lindon in later ages.

		Il Beleriand era bagnato ad ovest e a sud dal Grande Mare Belegaer, a nord vi erano gli altopiani dello Hithlum, del Dorthonion e i colli di Himring, all'est gli Ered Luin (Monti Azzurri) arrivavano vicini al mare.
		Il Fiume Sirion, il più importante corso d'acqua del Beleriand, scorreva da nord a sud, e divideva questa terra in Beleriand Occidentale e Beleriand Orientale.
		Il Beleriand ebbe molti nomi diversi nelle scritture di Tolkien precedenti: Broceliand, Broseliand, Golodhinand, Noldórinan, Geleriand, Bladorinand, Belaurien, Arsiriand, Lassiriand, Ossiriand (l'ultimo venne usato come nome di una regione del Beleriand).

		At the end of the First Age, nearly all of Beleriand sank below the sea during the destructive struggle between the Valar and Morgoth.
		All that remained were some parts of Ossiriand which formed the eastern part of Beleriand.

		For three ages after the departure of the Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri to Aman, the Elves who inhabited Beleriand comprised that part of the Telerin people who remained in Middle-earth, known as the Sindar or Grey-elves after their king, Thingol Greycloak of Doriath.
		While there was some enmity between the Sindar and the Noldor (especially the Sons of Fëanor), the two peoples lived together in the face of their common foe, Morgoth Bauglir.
		Finally, a small part of the Nandor, kin of the Sindar who had turned aside from the westward journey east of the Misty Mountains, entered the land of Ossiriand during the First Age.

		By assuming that this poem is actually a fragment from a past lost in history, Lewis underlined the remarkable power of its author's imaginative talents and academic competence.
		`The Lays of Beleriand' by J. Tolkien, edited by son, Christopher Tolkien is by far the most obscure and difficult yet of the postumous volumes starting with `The Silmarillion' and continuing with `Unfinished Stories' and `The Book of Lost Tales'.
		This is Volume III of `The History of Middle Earth' which will grow to twelve (12) volumes, to be completed by the editor, after almost twenty years, just before the release of the first of the three `The Lord of the Rings' movies in 2001.

	Review: J.R.R. Tolkien's alliterative poems in, The Lays of Beleriand
		But the majority of the poems in the book are unfinished drafts, often drafts that Tolkien abandoned and never attempted to rework or to publish.
		But he does not seem to have been able to sustain a long narrative in alliterative verse; the only poem he continued to work on throughout his life was the Lay of Leithian in rhyming couplets.
		Even with these flaws, however, The Lays of Beleriand is worth reading for evocative flashes suggestive of his better, published work, and of course, for the fan or the scholar interested in the world of Middle Earth, there is much material available nowhere else.

		These lands aren't considered in Beleriand itself, they are the lands located to the north of it.
		This is the region chosen by Fëanor, before the camp was complete, Orcs attacked and the Second Battle of the war of Beleriand was fought and name Dagor-Nuin-Giliath (Battle under stars) later on this territory was inhabited by Fingolfin’s folk who dwelt by the shore of Lake Mithrim.
		This is the river that delimits the Border of West Beleriand and East Beleriand; the Sirion flowed some 850 miles from its source in the cold highlands of the Ered Wethrin to its mighty delta on the Bay of Balar.

	Sindarin - the Noble Tongue
		In what way their Sindarin differed from the forms of Beleriand - see [LotR1] II 6, where Frodo reports that the speech of the Silvan folk that they used among themselves was unlike that of the West - is not of course now known.
		It is said of the Elves in Beleriand that "their own language was the only one that they ever heard; and they needed no word to distinguish it" (WJ:376).
		In the former conception, the native Elves of Beleriand spoke a language called Ilkorin, that Sindarin in effect displaced when Tolkien made this revision (Edward Kloczko has argued that some elements of Ilkorin were maintained as the northern dialect of Sindarin; his article is appended to my own treatise about Ilkorin).

		He endeavored to create an alliance amongst all the folk of Beleriand: in this he was hindered by the oath of Fëanor, and the strife that it had already caused did not cease: but nevertheless, Maedhros succeeded in gathering together a wonderfully strong alliance of Elves, Men and Dwarves, called the Union of Maedhros.
		All of Beleriand was plundered and raped by the orcs and wild men serving Morgoth: only in Gondolin the hidden, and in Doriath behind the Girdle of Melian, did security still remain.
		Eönwë summoned the Elves of Beleriand to leave Middle-earth; but the sons of Fëanor would not hearken, and prepared with weariness to give battle even to the victorious hosts of Valinor to keep the oath.

		Beleriand is a virtual environment and game where we have tried to recreate the world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth books.
		The action of Beleriand specifically takes place in the First Age (as told in The Silmarillion, The Lays of Beleriand, and the majority of Tolkien's fiction), when the good guys were stronger and brighter, when the bad guys were bigger and badder--in short, this is Middle-earth at its height!
		This is the time of the War of the Jewels, the fantastic struggle of the Free Peoples against the awesome power of the great Vala Morgoth and his minions.

		This 'war of the gods' left Beleriand devastated: '...so great was the fury of those adversaries that the northern regions of the western world were rent asunder, and the sea roared in through many chasms...' (Quenta Silmarillion 24).
		That's the reason why the First Age map from The Silmarillion doesn't fit with the the Third Age maps from The Lord of the Rings: the lands shown on the earlier map were drowned by the Sea at the end of the First Age.
		In the First Age, they formed a continuous eastern border to Beleriand, far from the Sea (they're shown along the eastern edge of the Silmarillion map).

	A Tale of Beleriand - www.ezboard.com
		In Brethil some few of the Haladin yet dwelt in the protection of their woods, and Handir son of Haldir was their lord; but to Hithlum came back never one of Fingon’s host, nor any of the Men of Hador’s house, nor any tidings of the battle and the fate of their lords.
		He realized that this battle would be the greatest fought in Beleriand since the wars fought between the Valar and Melkor, and so he reluctantly gave these warriors consent to go too, but only if they traveled in secret to fight with Fingon.
		The increasingly cold winters of Northern Beleriand had had a bad effect on Gethred, and he had been recently ill. Tathras volunteered to go in his place, because he had reached full manhood at the time, and he was a strong warrior.

		For though Beleriand had been 'changed and broken', is is spoken of as 'that land', and it was peopled by Men and Elves able to form an alliance against Thû.
		His servants were dispelled and the host of Beleriand broke his stronghold and razed it to the ground.
