Nevrast

Nevrast was a region in West Beleriand at the coast of the Belegaer in Middle-earth, during the years before the end of the First Age.
== Description ==
Nevrast was a depression surrounded completely by the Ered Wethrin. It was made up of over three-hundred square miles of land consisting of mostly scattered woodlands except for the marshland area encircling Linaewen. The climate was mostly a humid one with mild winters possibly due to the warm and moist prevailing winds that blew in from the sea.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XIV: "Of Beleriand and its Realms"The Atlas of Middle-earth, Thematic Maps, "Landforms"
== History ==
Nevrast was the centre of an Elven kingdom of Turgon for about a hundred years, when its people began moving to their newly completed realm of Gondolin. Turgon's capital (and it seems the only city of Nevrast) was Vinyamar.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XIII: "Of the Return of the Noldor" The land was not permanently inhabited after that, and indeed was utterly abandoned until Tuor came there, guided by Ulmo.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XV: "Of the Noldor in Beleriand"The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIII: "Of Tuor and the Fall of Gondolin"
Nevrast was the first part of Beleriand the Ñoldor settled, but was previously inhabited by Sindar. Its population was soon very mixed, far more so than any other region of Beleriand.
== Etymology ==
