Lake Helevorn was a deep, dark lake in Thargelion just south of Mount Rerir in the northeastern Beleriand.[1]
According to The Atlas of Middle-earth, it appeared to span around twenty miles from its west to east shoreline.[2]
History
After the return of the Ñoldor to Middle-earth, Caranthir, the fourth son of Fëanor, took up residence along Lake Helevorn's shorelines.[3] During the Dagor Bragollach, the dragon Glaurung polluted and defiled its waters. The lake, along with Caranthir's domain, was destroyed at the conclusion of the War of Wrath.[4]
Etymology
Helevorn is a Sindarin word meaning 'Black-Glass'.
