Moors of the Nibin-noeg
From Tolkien Gateway
The Moors of the Nibin-noeg were high uplands that rose between the Vales of Sirion and the Narog, northeast of Nargothrond.[1] On the eastern side rose prominence of Amon Rûdh. The moor was covered in thickets of aeglos.[2]
The moorlands were associated with the Nibin-noeg because in ancient times they had been part of their lands. Nargothrond to the west had originally been delved by the Nibin-noeg,[3] as had the chambers at the top of Amon Rûdh, known by the Petty-dwarves as Sharbhund before the coming of the Elves.[4]
