Information About

Thargelion (middle-earth)




Thargelion literally meant 'beyond Gelion', as it was east of the river Gelion . It was north of the river Ascar, and therefore not counted as part of Ossiriand .

After the Rebellion of the Ñoldor this was the land of Caranthir , one of the Sons Of Fëanor , and after him it was often called Dor Caranthir.

The Haladin briefly dwelt here until they were nearly wiped out in an Orc-raid .




There is also a month in the Attic Calendar called Thargelion.
