Aglon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aglon (Sindarin for 'high walls') is a narrow mountain pass in J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth. It is located between Dorthonion to the west and Himring to the east. It was of strategic importance since it joined Himlad and Lothlann, being an eastern passage from Angband to the main Beleriand. It was guarded by Celegorm and Curufin but during the Dagor Bragollach in First Age (F.A.) 455 the Pass of Aglon was breached and the brothers fled to Nargothrond. Some time later (around F.A. 469) Maedhros recovered it, but it was again left unguarded when he fled after the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.

As all of Beleriand, it was destroyed in the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.
