Geleidhien

Geleidhien (S. "Land of the Noldor", Q. "Noldoriende" was the region of Forlindon embracing the lower Gelion and the coast of the Bay of Lune. It had formerly been the domain of the Noldorin nobility and Gil-galad in the Second Age, just as Dor Leithien had been that of the Doriathrim. Although the region had become more heterogeneous, the old label stuck. To the extent that the Deep Elvish princes still retained estates there, it had some accuracy. Geleidhien was the most densely populated part of Forlindon, but was relatively empty to mortal eyes. Most homes and villages were hidden by trees, rocks or, in a few cases, by being partially subterranean.
