Havens of the Falas

The Havens of the Falas, or simply the Havens, were coastal cities of the Sindarin Elves in western Beleriand during the First Age.The Silmarillion (inside cover), "Map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North"
== History ==
The Havens were founded in the Years of the Trees during the time of the Elves' migration west into Beleriand. The founders of the Havens were a group of Teleri who chose to stay in Middle-earth for their love of the coasts and the sea; they did not move on to Aman as some of their kin did. The people of these settlements became known as the Falathrim and their leader was Círdan the Shipwright. After some time, two main walled settlements were built and these were the cities of Eglarest built at the mouth of the river Nenning, and Brithombar, to the north, built at the mouth of the river Brithon.
When Morgoth opened his first assault on Beleriand, the Havens came under a siege that lasted until the Return of the Ñoldor, after which the attacking Orcs were ordered north to fight the Ñoldor in the Dagor-nuin-Giliath. After FA 52, West Beleriand was ruled from Nargothrond by Finrod Felagund with Círdan as an ally. The Havens of the Falas survived until the later Battles of Beleriand; they finally fell by the year FA 473. Some of Círdan's people, including Gil-galad, fled to the Havens of Sirion and the Isle of Balar, while others fled to Belfalas, where they founded Edhellond.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter V: "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"
