	Doriath - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Doriath was a realm of forests about the great river Sirion, with in it the forests Neldoreth (also Taur-na-Neldor, the northern beech forest), Nivrim (also West-march, an oak forest), and Region (pronounced Reh-gi-on, the main forest).
		Doriath was originally named Eglador, meaning either "Land of the Forsaken" or "Land of the Elves", but in the last years before the First Age attacks by Melkor's creatures (Orcs) began to increase in Beleriand, and Melian fenced the forests of Neldoreth, Region, and Nivrim.
		Doriath was briefly restored under Beren and Lúthien's son Dior, but he was attacked and killed by the sons of Fëanor in the Second Kinslaying.

		Born in Doriath at the end of the First Age of the Chaining of Melkor, Lúthien spent long years dancing to the songs of Daeron composed for her beauty, but she also learned, from her mother, the wisdom and power of her heritage.

	Doriathrin
		All that is known of the language of Doriath is some eighty words found in the Etymologies in LR:347-400, plus one or two words from the Silmarillion chapter 21.
		This is defined as "the hard, dry land as opposed to water or bog", later developing the meaning "land in general as opposed to sea", and finally also "a land" as a particular region, "with more or less defined bounds".
		Later, Tolkien interpreted Doriath as "Land of the Fence" instead, referring to the Girdle of Melian, the second element now being equated with be iâth, iath "fence" (WJ:370, 378), but this is apparently not to be connected with this entry GAT(H).

	Ruin of Doriath
		Apart from the Kinslayings at the hands of the Sons of Feanor, the worst of evil deeds that weren’t of Melkor’s doing was The Ruin of Doriath.
		So, returning to Nogrod, the dwarves lied to their kin about what happened in Doriath (though lust for the Silmaril certainly clouded their reasoning) and a great force of Dwarves came from Nogrod and sacked Menegroth, and the rest of Doriath.
		Mablung, a valiant soldier of Doriath, sent a messenger with the Silmaril to Beren and Luthien in Ossiriand before he died defending Menegroth, because of this act, Beren was able to ambush the Dwarves on the return to Nogrod as they crossed the Gelion with a force of Green Elves, but Doriath was lost.

		Doriath, were of course very well defined by the Girdle of Melian.)dorn "oak".

		The solution seems to be that galbreth is the proper name of the beech both in Falathrin and Doriathrin, and moreover the only name used in Falathrin, while the people of Doriath usually substituted the term neldor - which was not held to be the "proper" name of this tree.

	The Leithian Script Project - Notes
		It is told in Silmarillion how Elu Thingol, King of Doriath, in justifiable apprehension of the consequences of having scads of ambitious, powerful, talented, troublesome relatives and their entourages grabbing up territory on all sides, refused to open his borders to the returning Noldor and warned them against displacing the native peoples of Beleriand.
		It's hardly surprising that he is described while in Doriath as being "as wild and wary as a faun/that sudden wakes at rustling dawn, and flits from shade to shade, and flees/the brightness of the sun, yet sees all stealthy movements in the wood," even when no one is actually out to get him.
		Doriath: although the specifics of Green-elven and Grey-elven cultural borrowings and differences are my interpretation, this building of Doriath's atmosphere is straight extrapolation and often straight lifting, from the source texts.

		The Nauglamir with the Silmaril set within it was pretty brilliant--how it was made possible is almost mind boggling when you trace the chain of events that led up to it.
		That's it, I'm outta here." She just ditches all of Doriath as soon as Thingol dies...a crappy thing to do if there ever was one.
		I mean, she was the queen of all of Doriath (all of Belariand technically, right?), those were her people she left to get slaughtered, not just Thingol's.

	CRT editing "of the ruin of Doriath"
		Now I know that most of this chapter was written by Christopher Tolkien but I have on idea what notes of his fathers he based it on and how much he made up.
		In particular, is the march of the Naugrim upon Doriath the real reason JRRT had in mind for the estrangement of Elves and Dwarves?
		Finally it strikes me that "the ruin of Doriath" on re-reading does seem quite startlingly grim compared with much of Tolkiens other work.
