Formenos

Formenos was the stronghold city of the House of Fëanor in the hills north of Valinor, in Aman.The Atlas of Middle-earth, The First Age, The Elder Days, "Valinor"
== History ==
After the banishment of Fëanor from Tirion, he and his seven sons went north of Valinor and fortified Formenos. Some of the Ñoldor, including their King Finwë, went with Fëanor. In Formenos, they spent twelve Valian Years (about fifty Years of the Sun) in exile.
It was also home to the treasury of Fëanor where he kept the three Silmarils in a chamber of iron. Melkor slew Finwë at the doors of Formenos, before stealing the jewels, which led to the eventual Darkening of Valinor.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter IX: "Of the Flight of the Noldor"
== Etymology ==
Formenos was a Quenya name, meaning "Northern fortress" from forod ("north") and ost ("fortress").The Silmarillion, Appendix: Elements in Quenya and Sindarin namesParma Eldalamberon, Words, Phrases and Passages in Various Tongues in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
