Nivrim

Nivrim, also known as Oak Forest, was one of the forests of the Elven realm of Doriath.
Nivrim was situated west of Region, southeast of Amon Rûdh, north of Aelin-uial, south of the southeastern edge of Brethil, and was located within the Girdle of Melian. Both it and the forest of Region were joined by a bridge crossing the Sirion near where the river Esgalduin joined with it.The Silmarillion (inside cover), "Map of Beleriand and the Lands to the North"
== History ==
The forest was loved by Queen Melian, who dedicated it in honor of the Vala Ulmo and decided it should be in the power of the realm of Doriath proper, thus placing it within Melian's protective barrier.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XIV: "Of Beleriand and its Realms" Its fate was ultimately included in that of Doriath, for when Melian departed from Middle-earth it was left unprotected and open to its enemies.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXII: "Of the Ruin of Doriath" It was finally destroyed at the end of the War of Wrath.The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter XXIV: "Of the Voyage of Eärendil and the War of Wrath" 
The forest was mainly composed of oak trees, hence its other name "Oak Forest."
==Etymology==
Nivrim was a Sindarin name in the Doriathren dialect meaning "west-march", deriving from the elements nivon ("forward; west") and rim ("edge, hem, border").The History of Middle-earth, Vol. V: The Lost Road and Other Writings, Part III: "The Etymologies", (entries NIB- and RĪ-)
