Table of Contents

Turgon constructed Vinyamar, a seaside city in Himlad, sometime before F.A. 50. Aredhel dwelt there with him and Idril before moving to Gondolin in F.A. 116. At this time, Fingon is a crown prince and Lord of Dor-lómin. Maedhros and his brothers reside in East Beleriand.

Himlad was the land of Celegorm and Curufin. Tolkien tells us that Aredhel stays in Himlad twice. The first time after departing Gondolin, when Celegorm and Curufin were away hunting with Caranthir in Thargelion. Aredhel stayed with Celegorm's people for some time but got restless and kept riding east. She got lost in Nan Elmoth, Eöl's dark forest. The second time she visits Himlad, Aredhel and Maeglin were on the run from Nan Elmoth. They stayed briefly with Celegorm who gave them horses to get back to Gondolin.
