Emyn Cûn

The 'Emyn Cûn (S. "Bow-bent Hills", Q. "Ambani Cuyî") were the hills that arose between Talath Annui, Nadhras i-Nahar and Estolad in the destruction of Beleriand, cutting the lower Gelion from its northern origin and forming the sheltering vales of northern Forlindon. This range was said to have been made by the Valar to protect the Elves there from the rising waters. The highest hill in Forlindon, Amon Draug, sat near the mid-point of these hills, where the Gelion began. It was possible to see the Belegaer from its summit.
