- Mithrim
In the works of
J. R. R. Tolkien , Mithrim is a land ofMiddle-earth and also the name for theSindar Elves living in the region.Mithrim formed a part of
Hithlum , and was the south-western corner of it, borderingDor-lómin to the east, from which it was divided by the Mountains of Mithrim. Mithrim's climate was the same as Hithlum's, the air was cool and the winters was cold but it was a fair land.The area was home to a great lake, the Lake of Mithrim, which was the body of water north of
Beleriand where theNoldor first dwelt inMiddle-earth : theSons of Fëanor on the northern shore andFingolfin 's host on the southern shore.The Noldor dwelt here for a while until their feud was healed, and they removed to other lands. Mithrim was also home to
Sindar in Elves, who soon mingled with the Noldor after they had learnedSindarin .Later in the
First Age Mithrim was ruled byFingolfin , as it formed the most densely populated part of Hithlum.
