Linnarthurras

Near to the juncture where the Bleak Mountains bend westwards to form the Aeglir Arvethed there rises a peak known to the Elves of Evermist as Linnarthurras(S. "Peak of Indomitable Song"). Here stands the frozen form of Lindor, the Noldorin lord who faced Eloeklo, Demon of the North Wind, in an epic combat. Though lifeless, his body still stands upon the mountain's pinnacle like a sentinel. Neither time nor wind nor weather have been able to cast Lindor's body from this high place. The Cuiviémar say that Lindor sang a song of victory as he strove with Eloeklo, and that in spring one can still hear a distant singing, beautiful and calm, high upon the mountain. It is said that Eloeklo avoids the mountain; though he won the battle, he has only bitter memories of the fight.
