Glin a-Rhua

Glin a-Rhua lay north of Cameth Brin, where the Mitheithel had cut a small valley with a few strips of good ground and some readily available copper deposits. These veins of metal attracted Eriadorian miners and Númenórean explorers in the Second Age, enough of them so the Glin a-Rhua gave the whole region ofRhudaur its name (literally "Place of Copper"); but the settlements there were under constant threat from the Trolls and Hillmen who liked to hunt in these valleys. They never flourished, and most of the copper nodes ran out.In later times, the Glin a-Rhua was simply a settled place around the river ferry and one of the roads leading into northern Rhudaur and Angmar.
