Havens of the Falas (called Havens of Círdan by Voronwë[1]) were the two great walled Elven cities: Eglarest at the mouth of the River Nenning, and to the north Brithombar at the mouth of the River Brithon.[2] Built on the western shores of the Falas, the Havens were the realm of Círdan the Shipwright and his people, the Falathrim, who were considered Sindar.[3]

The Havens were besieged during the First Battle of Beleriand, but during the Dagor-nuin-Giliath the Orcs that besieged the cities turned north to fight the Noldor and were all slain.[4] When Finrod Felagund established himself in Nargothrond his rule extended over all of West Beleriand excepts for the coasts, which continued to be ruled by Círdan, Felagund's ally.[5]

The Havens of the Falas held out during the later Battles of Beleriand until they were finally destroyed in F.A. 473,[6] and Círdan's people fled to the Mouths of Sirion and the Isle of Balar.[7]
