Echoing Mountains

The range of Ered Lómin

Map of the Echoing Mountains

A name for Ered Lómin, the western mountains of Hithlum that separated that land from the sea, and through which the inlet of the Firth of Drengist ran. These mountains echoed to the cries of Morgoth when he returned to Middle-earth, and those echoes were reawakened years later, as the host of Fëanor landed on its northern shores in pursuit of the Dark Lord.
