Mithrim was a region of Beleriand in Middle-earth, the southeast part of Hithlum, bordering Dor-lómin to the west, from which it was divided by the Mountains of Mithrim.[1] Mithrim's climate was the same as Hithlum's; the air was cool and the winter was cold but it was a fair land.[2] Swans were frequently seen in the pools of the land.[3]
History
When the Noldor returned to Middle-earth the host of Fëanor camped upon the northern shore of Lake Mithrim. Morgoth sent a host of Orcs through the Ered Wethrin to attack the newcomers and thus upper Mithrim was the scene of the Dagor-nuin-Giliath.
The Noldor met the Grey-elves in Mithrim and learned from them of King Thingol and tidings of what had transpired during their stay in Valinor. At the rising of the Sun the host of Fingolfin marched into Mithrim. After approaching Angband Fingolfin's host returned to Mithrim and camped upon the northern shore of Lake Mithrim. However, due to the rift between Fingolfin's people and the followers of Fëanor, Fingolfin relocated to the southern shores of the lake.[4]
Later in the First Age Mithrim was ruled by Fingolfin, as it formed the most densely populated part of Hithlum.[2] However, after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad Morgoth overran Mithrim and all of Hithlum and afterwards turned the land over to the Easterlings.[5] In the winter of the year of the Nirnaeth Rían gave birth to Tuor in the wilds of Mithrim.[6]
