Mirror of Fire

The Ogladalo Vatra is a vast stone plain covering the southeastern reaches of Haradwaith.It is believed to have been formed by the collapse of the Pillar Ormal in the Elder Days.The Mirror of Fire is the dead lake-bed of Arda's first spring, sloping gently downwards like a vast bowl for some thirty leagues. At its center lies what remains of the isle of Almaren: a cyclopean mesa of dead rock. At the very point where the lamp of Ormal struck the island, a deep rift has been torn. A path runs down this narrow canyon to a cave-opening, wherein the domain of Fuinur begins (see Fuinur’s Well).
