	Maedhros
		Tolkien, Maedhros the Tall was one of the Noldor, the eldest of the sons of Fëanor.
		Shortly after the battle of Dagor-nuin-Giliath in which Fëanor was killed, Maedhros was captured by Morgoth, and hung by the wrist of his right hand upon the face of a precipice of Thangorodrim[?].
		Maedhros later ruled the lands around the Hill of Himring[?], which became known as the March of Maedhros because it was exposed to the hosts of Morgoth, and defeated them in the Dagor Aglareb[?].

		Maedhros indeed rebuked Caranthir; but the greater part of the Noldor, of both followings, hearing his words were troubled in heart, fearing the fell spirit of the sons of Feanor that it seemed would ever be like to burst forth in rash word or violence.
		That region was named thereafter the March of Maedhros; for northwards there was little defense of hill or river against assault from Angband.
		Thither came many of the chieftains and people of Fingolfin and Finrod; and of the sons of Feanor Maedhros and Maglor, with warriors of the eastern March; and there came also great numbers of the Grey-elves, wanderers of the woods of Beleriand and folk of the Havens, with Cirdan their lord.

		Ulfang, who then was the Lord of the House, and his sons Uldor, Ulfast, and Ulwarth, joined forces with the Army of Angband, and put the choice to the other men in the service of Maedhros: to renounce a lost and hopeless cause or to surrender.
		But the treachery of Maedhros was their ruin, and while they succeeded in weakening the foes of Angband decisively, they had to give their life, for the were slewn insidiously by Maglor, brother of Maedhros, and another one of the accursed sons of Feanor the Thief.
		But the people of Ulfang took revenge for this treachery, and while the sons of Feanor all escaped unscathed, as always letting others fight for them, their host was broken, and scattered, and it fled this way and that.

		Maedhros, eldest son of Feanor, in gratitude, abdicated the Kingship of the Noldor in favor of Fingolfin, the eldest of the House of Finwe (Feanor having been killed when he drew too far ahead of his forces while pursuing the forces of Morgoth).
		Maedhros then, both thinking it best to put distance between the estranged factions of the Noldor, and also eager to have the largest portion of danger put upon himself and his brothers, settled to the East of Dorthonion.

		By the people of Doriath this wood was called Nivrim, the West March; great oak-trees grew there, and it also was encompassed within the Girdle of Melian, that so some portion of Sirion which she loved in reverence of Ulmo should be wholly under the power of Thingol.
		In that region, upon the March of Maedhros and in the lands behind, dwelt the sons of Fëanor with many people; and their riders passed often over the vast northern plain, Lothlann the wide and empty, east of Ard-galen, lest Morgoth should attempt any sortie towards Bast Beleriand.
		Thus the sons of Fëanor under Maedhros were the lords of East Beleriand, but their people were in that time mostly in the north of the land, and southward they rode only to hunt in the greenwoods.
