The Bay of Forochel (somewhat conjectural)]1
A vast bay of the Great Sea in the cold northern climes of Middle-earth, often referred to as the Icebay of Forochel. A small southern part of this bay is shown on the maps that accompany The Lord of the Rings, but it seems that the Bay itself extended well beyond this, stretching far to the northeast. Around the edges of the Bay, in earlier times, lived a people known as the Forodwaith. Their descendants were the snow-dwelling Lossoth, who aided Arvedui after he fled from the wreck of Arthedain. Ignoring their warnings, Arvedui attempted to escape across the Bay by ship, and was lost in its icy deeps. Notes
