Darkness of the North

The Darkness of the North or the Northern Dark was a area in the farthest northern parts of Arda during the Second Age.

The Darkness of the North was created after the destruction of the Beleriand at the end of the First Age. It could be reached by sea by traveling farthest north in both the Belegaer and the Inner Seas. The Númenóreans sailed to this area as they did to the Nether Darkness in the far south during their explorations of the world.

It was likely a cold place. Its existence after the Change of the World is not known.
