Cape of Forochel

The Cape of Forochel was a cape in the Northern Waste of Arda and Middle-earth from the Second Age onward.
== History ==
The Cape of Forochel was formed out of the tumultuous destruction of Beleriand and the vast desolate region of Dor-na-Daerachas of Morgoth, as a result of the devastating War of Wrath that ended his power in Arda at the end of the First Age. At the end of the war, a cape was formed in the shape of a giant hook about 350 miles long from its north-eastern beginning to its southern-most point, and it lay between the polar north and the Icebay of Forochel. The cape as well as Forochel was sparsely populated, but a people known as the Forodwaith, who dated back to the First Age lived there or around the cape but by Third Age they were all but extinct. Their descendants, the Lossoth lived there as their ancestors once did, no doubt fishing and hunting creatures in the area for food.
== Climate and geography ==
The Cape of Forochel was a frozen tundra with no plant life and cold prevailing winds passing through it, as well as cold ocean currents passing through the Ice-bay and the northern Belegaer. It likely had a subarctic climate with long winters and heavy snowfall.
