Helevorn
From Tolkien Gateway
Helevorn was the deep, mountain-shaded lake in the cold lands northeast of Beleriand. Caranthir had his capital on its shores, but its waters were defiled by Glaurung during the Dagor Bragollach ("Battle of Sudden Flame").
Etymology
Helvorn means "Black Glass" in Sindarin.[1] It was probably translated from an earlier Khuzdul name such as "Narag-zâram".[2]
