Eithel Ivrin

From Free net encyclopedia

In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the Eithel Ivrin or Pools of Ivrin was a series of small freshwater lakes under the shadow of the Ered Wethrin mountains.

One of the most beautiful sights in all of Beleriand, the pools were beloved by Finduilas of Nargothrond, who was given the nickname Falivrin after the Sun on the Pools of Ivrin by Gwindor.

The river Narog began here. Túrin Turambar was healed from his daze after killing Beleg at the site by Gwindor. Glaurung came by it on his way to Nargothrond, and defiled them. Túrin, passing north to his old home, found them ruined.
