Taur-en-Faroth

Taur-en-Faroth also known as High Faroth and Hills of the Hunters was a highland forest area in western Beleriand and was the location of the hidden city of Nargothrond, which was in its northeastern part near the river Narog.
It was located east of river Nenning, on the border of the river Narog, and far north of the land of Arvernien. The river Ringil, a tributary to the Narog ran through its northeastern border near Nargothrond.The Atlas of Middle-earth, The First Age, The Elder Days, "Beleriand and the Lands to the North"
It was not a particularly dense forest but more of a sparse woodland.The Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Vegetation"
== History ==
In the days before the Sun, Taur-en-Faroth was primarily inhabited by the Petty-dwarves, the original delvers of the caves of Nargothrond. But when the Ñoldor returned from Valinor, the entire area was given over (with the blessing of Thingol, Lord of Beleriand) to Finrod, and later Orodreth of the House of Finarfin and the Petty-dwarves were driven out.
During the time of Nargothrond, Elves from there didn't travel openly without safeguards due to the secrecy of the realm of Nargothrond. After the Sack of Nargothrond and with Glaurung in the caves, the Elves were driven from the area altogether and the servants of Morgoth roamed freely throughout this forest.The Complete Guide to Middle-earth
== Etymology ==
