	Bambooweb: Hithlum
		Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, Hithlum is the region north of Beleriand near the Helcaraxë.
		Hithlum was subdivided in Mithrim, where the High Kings of the Ñoldor had their halls, and Dor-lómin, which later became a fief of the House of Hador.
		The land of Lammoth lay east of the Ered Wethrin and was not part of Beleriand or Hithlum, and the land of Nevrast was separated from Hithlum by the southern part of the Ered Lómin.

		Hithlum was the coldest of the Elven lands of the First Age, a buffer between the bitter the colds of the north and the warm, cheery lands of Beleriand.
		Hithlum reached the height of its power just prior to the Dagor Bragollach, when it was populated by three peoples: the Hithlum Noldor; the Sindar of Mithrim; and the Marachians, the third group of Edain to enter Beleriand.
		Hithlum had to coordinate the Siege of Angband with Nargothrond and the March of Maedhros until it was broken in 455, when Finrod lost Dorthonion and Tol Sirion.

	Hithlum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hithlum was separated from Beleriand proper by the Ered Wethrin mountain chain, and was named after the sea mists which formed there at times: Hithlum is Sindarin for "Mist-shadow"; its Quenya counterpart is Hisilómë.
		Nevrast was usually seen as part of Hithlum, but its climate was that of Beleriand.
		Hithlum was cold and rainy, but quite fertile.

	Nirnaeth Arnoediad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the almost two decades since their defeat in the Dagor Bragollach, the Ñoldor had lost control over the entire north of Beleriand, and were for the most part reduced to refugees dwelling in Hithlum and Nargothrond.
		Under the Union of Maedhros all the Elves of Beleriand, as well as the Edain, Dwarves, and the newly arrived Easterlings were invited to combine in arms and fight Morgoth.
		Under Fingon in the west were gathered the Elves and Men of Hithlum, the Elves of the Falas, the Haladin of Brethil and the companies sent from Nargothrond and the two elves of Doriath, Beleg and Mablung.

	dor lomin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dor-lómin, "Land of Echoes", was the south-western part of Hithlum, bordered in the east by the Mountains of Mithrim, and in the north by the river which formed the Rainbow Cleft known as Annon-in-Gelydh, or "Gate of the Noldor".
		It was first colonized by the Noldor shortly after they arrived in Middle-earth, and for a long time was ruled by Fingon son of Fingolfin, before he took over as High King of the Noldor after his father was killed.
		Like the rest of Hithlum it was destroyed during the War of Wrath.

	[ Daily Tolkien ] The Captains Crazy of Middle-earth
		In time the rift between the two groups was partially healed, and the Feanorians migrated to east Beleriand where they established the March of Maedhros, a large and powerful kingdom though its population would have consisted mostly of Sindar who accepted Maedhros as their lord.
		The long-term strategy that he probably devised was to surround Angband on three sides, and to this end the sons of Finarfin established themselves in the Vale of Sirion and the northern heights of Dorthonion.
		Hithlum no longer had the cavalry it needed to drive Morgoth's armies back, but the fortresses in the mountains withstood all assaults, and doubtless the influx of Beorians helped keep the battlements manned, even if most of their warriors were either dead or staying with Barahir.

		Harlindon was probably settled by surviving Sindar from Doriath, Nargothrond, and Hithlum (and the Green-elves of Ossiriand).
		Hithlum was the first Elven realm to weave those enchanted grey cloaks which eventually were given by Elves of Lorien to the Fellowship of the Ring.
		Forlindon was probably settled by remnants of Noldor from Nargothrond and Hithlum, the Feanorians, and Sindar from Gondolin.

		Túrin loved his little sister, but she was killed by a plague which came to Hithlum from Angband when she was still an infant.
		Túrin never got over her death and always looked for her likeness in women ever after, which is one possible reason for the tragedy which befell him when he took Níniel as a wife later.

		Hithlum was subdivided in Mithrim, where the High Kings of the Noldor had their halls, and Dor-lómin, which later became a fief of the House of Hador.
		The eastern wall was formed by the Ered Lómin or "Echoing Mountains", which curved north-westward to the Helcaraxë.
		The Hadorians were scattered, killed, or enslaved, the Noldor were enslaved in Morgoth's mines if they could not flee in time, and Morgoth trapped the Easterlings there.

		Two years later he wedded Morwen Elf-Sheen of the House of Bëor, and later in the year was born their son Túrin.
		He was brought to his old homelands in Hithlum, but the Easterlings now living there at first did not recognize him and later feared him, believing he served their evil lord Morgoth.

	Seeking refuge in HITHLUM during Bragollach - THE TOLKIEN FORUM
		So great was the onslaught of Morgoth that Fingolfin and Fingon could not come to the aid of the sons of Finarfin; and the hosts of Hithlum were driven back with great loss to the fortresses of Ered Wethrin, and these they hardly defended against the orcs.
		In this battle Dorthonion and Ered Wethrin were reached by the sudden flames of Morgoth, and both of the realms were at war.
		Men were dying in defense at Ered Wethrin, and the battle was big and bad enough that no aid was spared for Dorthonion, and Finrod was cut off.

	Sindar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They were not part of the realm of Eglador, but still took Thingol as their High King.
		Yet other stray bands of Teleri settled in Nevrast and Hithlum to the north of Eglador, although these did not form any realms.
		The Teleri of Eglador, the northlands, and the Falas were collectively known as the Sindar, or Grey Elves, in later days, because they developed a civilisation all its own, which almost equalled that of the Calaquendi or Light Elves of Valinor.

		However, when Hithlum burst in unannounced, that was just what they got.
		Huor was relieved when he saw the Steward trailing behind Hithlum instead of the King.

		And in Hithlum dwelt Fingolfin, the high king of the Noldor and his sons, Fingon and Turgon.
		However, Fingolfin’s chief fortress was in the east of the Shadowy Mountains, and was called Eithel Sirion where the Noldor of Hithlum could watch the plain of Ard-galen, which lay between the Shadowy Mountains and Blue Mountains far to the east.

		There were Elves in Hithlum at the time (Sindar) who noted this passage (that is how Tolkien justifies his histories -- either someone witnesses it or infers it).
		Hithlum itself was not burned, nor suffered any kind of damage from flame and smoke.
		Tolkien doesn't say the flaming Balrogs ran through Hithlum, and they in their fiery state could not have ridden through it as in the older stories.

		Feandil grew up fast in the safety of Hithlum, but was much estranged from the other Elves because of his father.
		In the later stages of the battle, when the armies of Fingolfin and Maedhros came together, crushing the forces of Morgoth, Feandor, in his wrath rode at the front of Fingolfin's host and drove deep into the ranks of Orcs, and killed dozens singlehandedly, but was outnumbered and eventually slain.
		It was during this time that rumours came through the Noldor that Prince Turgon son of King Fingolfin was preparing a great exodus from Nevrast and moving all of his people, and many others of the Eldar, to a new place of fastness he had prepared.

		He was yet young and scarce half-grown, for long and slow is the life of the dragons, but the Elves fled before him to Ered Wethrin and Dorthonion in dismay; and he defiled the fields of Ard-galen.
		Then Fingon prince of Hithlum rode against him with archers on horseback, and hemmed him round with a ring of swift riders; and Glaurung could not endure their darts, being not yet come to his full armoury, and he fled back to Angband, and came not forth again for many years.
		Fingolfin and Fingon his son held Hithlum, and the most part of Fingolfin's folk dwelt in Mithrim about the shores of the great lake; to Fingon was assigned Dor-lómin, that lay to the west of the Mountains of Mithrim.

		Their arms were scattered, and their league broken; and they took to a wild and woodland life beneath the feet of Ered Lindon, mingling with the Green-elves of Ossiriand, bereft of their power and glory of old.
		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.
		Such was the reward he gave them for their treachery to Maedhros: to plunder and harass the old and the women and the children of Hador’s people.

		When he was sixteen, the elves tried leave the caves of Androth where they lived, but Orcs and Easterlings attacked them, and Tuor was taken captive.
		After being three years a slave to Lorgan, the chief of the Easterlings of Hithlum, he escaped and returned to caves of Androth.
		When Tuor had lived as an outlaw for four years, he left Hithlum because "Ulmo set it in his heart to depart from the land of his fathers, for he had chosen Tuor as the instrument of his designs", and went through Annon-in-Gelydh, finally arriving at Nevrast.

		Thus when he marched North and trumpeted his challenge and "summoned unto him all Elves and Men from Hithlum unto the East" he was calling the hidden wandering Elves and the remnant Elf-friends living as slaves under the Easterlings in Hithlum and Dorthonian - those children had now grown to become men.
		The term from "Hithlum unto the east," implies to me to be referring to the northern lands of middle earth not the middle and southern lands.
		From the glimpses we see in the Narn i hin Hurin and in the Wanderings of Hurn, the edain living under the Easterlings were not "slaves" in the iron shackle sense.
