Maglor's Gap was a lowland region in Middle-earth lying between Himring and the Blue Mountains, the widest break in the northern mountain-fences of Beleriand.
The region was a combination of scrub-lands, thickets, and light and heavy forest areas. It was also somewhat cold at times, as it was close to the North and the realm of Morgoth.[1]
History
In the early First Age, forces led by Maglor, the second Son of Fëanor, guarded Maglor's Gap against the forces of Morgoth. During the Dagor Bragollach, they were defeated; Maglor fled to Himring, along with most of the survivors of the battle. After the War of Wrath, Maglor's Gap was destroyed and lost under the waves along with the rest of Beleriand.[2]
