The One Wiki to Rule Them All

The area of Forodwaith that lay north of Eriador was known as Forochel, together with the great bay and cape which carried the same name. This area roughly corresponded with the area where the Blue Mountains and the Iron Mountains once met.[1]

History[]

It is speculated in The Atlas of Middle-earth that the ancient stronghold of Morgoth, Utumno, was once located in Forochel, although this is not necessarily canonical. Forochel was inhabited by a tribe of brown skinned people called the Lossoth, or Snowmen. The chief of these tribes sheltered the Arthedain king Arvedui for a time, and was given the Ring of Barahir as a reward. Arvedui soon left afterwards, and on his voyage back, the ship sank, due to a great storm.[2]

Etymology[]

Forochel is a Sindarin word that meant 'North-ice'.[3]
