Ered Rhívamar

ERED RHIVAMAR( S. “M OUNTAINS OF THE E DGE OF THE W ORLD ” ) These are not high peaks, but snow-capped all year round.Only musk ox and downy-hair caru find food here,along with creatures able to hunt them. This moun-tain range is also the home of unnatural things, someleft over from the Elder Days and the dark enchant-ments of Morgoth. One or more Arthadan expedi-tions crossed it several centuries back, but recordsare sketchy. Carved on a rock slab overlooking theHub-in-Uinin is a message: I, Malgolodh, son of the sonof King Amlaith, forbid any to pursue further my quest. I will entomb myself in the hills to protect happier lands fromthe evil which has devoured my companions. Searchesordered by the King produced no recorded results;Prince Malgolodh and the evil he feared remain buried at the edge of the world.
