Angbor (rock)

The Angbor, also known as the Halabor or just the Stone, was the judgment seat in the Moot-ring of the Forest of Brethil, during the First Age.The History of Middle-earth, Vol. XI: The War of the Jewels, Part Two, chapter 1: "The Wanderings of Húrin", pg. 283-307
The Angbor was a large, flat stone upon which the Halbar would sit upon during Folkmoots. It was located in the middle of the seat-filled Moot-ring, the place where Folkmoots were held by the Haladin. The accused would stand before the Angbor facing the Halbar and the assembly.
==History==
In the late First Age, Húrin Thalion stood accused facing the Angbor during the 301st Folkmoot for Judgement.
