Dor-Cúarthol, the "Land of Bow and Helm", was a name of Talath Dirnen and specifically the area around Amon Rûdh, between Teiglin and the edges of Doriath. The name comes from Beleg's great bow and the Dragon-helm of Dor-lómin borne by Túrin whose outlaw band protected that land from Orcs between F.A. 487 and 489.
History
Amon Rûdh was the old home of a family of Petty-dwarves, Mîm and his sons, when Túrin and his outlaws came requesting to stay, threatening the Dwarf with his life. One day in the midst of winter, Beleg, having been seeking out his old friend, brought to him the helm of his ancestors, and joined the outlaws. Together, the Two Captains defended that region against the Orcs of Morgoth. Túrin took a new name, Gorthol, from the dreadful helm he was wearing.
But soon, perceiving that "Gorthol" was truly Túrin the son of Húrin, Morgoth sent his spies to watch the lands around this hill. Mîm eagerly betrayed the outlaws to the Orc captain. The outlaws were routed, Beleg was left for dead, and Túrin was captured and led away to the north.
