Maglor's Gap

[Rhiannon]

"Between the arms of Gelion was the ward of Maglor, and here in one place the hills failed altogether; there it was that the Orcs came into east Beleriand before the Third Battle. Therefore the Noldor held strength of cavalry in the plains of that place ..."

Since we changed the location of the Dagor Aglareb, Maglor's Gap is not the setting for any scenes this season, although it does appear in montages. Nevertheless, we can discuss what Maglor's fortress and the surrounding lands might look like for future reference.

 

[Rhiannon]

I imagine Maglor living in an almost fairytale-like castle with a good vantage across the plains, maybe something like one of these.
