Tar Aeluin, by David Greset
Tarn Aeluin, or simply Aeluin, was the name given by the Grey-elves and Edain to a small, clear lake in the center of the highlands of eastern Dorthonion, at the entrance of the shallow pass leading to Ladros in Beleriand.[1]
It is said to have been hallowed by Melian the Maia. It was here that Barahir and his XII Bëorings hid from Morgoth's forces after the Dagor Bragollach.[2]
Etymology[]
Tarn Aeluin was Sindarin for 'Blue-mere'.[3]
