Tirith Bronadui (S. "Enduring Watch") was a village on the sea, and the only settlement of the Elves in the chill lands of Lothlann, with a high lamp-house for lost sea-farers.It was populated by Noldor, descendants of Feanor's followers. As the winters of this region became more severe, the population shifted to a purely military outpost, guarding the route around the Ered Luin into Lothlann and Forlindon. Its guard was withdrawn after the destruction of Angmar (T.A. 1975). In that year a rescue party consisting of many of the garrison was killed trying to rescue Arvedui. The death of so many eroded the spirit of the survivors, who resettled in the south or left Middle-earth.
