Just a little of North-east of Dolmed was (Belegost), and a little to the South-east was (Nogrod).
After the War of Wrath the Ered Luin were broken at the location of Mount Dolmed and an arm of the sea, the Gulf of Lune, broke through it. Mount Dolmed was completely destroyed together with Nogrod and much of Belegost.
