		+	==History==
		+	After [[Ungoliant]] fled [[Lammoth]] and the [[Balrogs]] of [[Morgoth]] she made her way to the valley below the Ered Gorgoroth. There she bred such horrors that the valley was given the name Nan Dungortheb. After she had departed the land was infested with her offspring.<ref>{{S\|Flight}}</ref> Waters that spilled into the valley from the Ered Gorgoroth were defiled, filling the hearts of those that drank of them with madness and despair. All living things other than the spiders avoided the valley, including the [[Ñoldor]] who would only cross it by paths nearest to Doriath.<ref>{{S\|Beleriand}}</ref>
		+
		+	When [[Aredhel]], daughter of [[Fingolfin]], attempted to ride eastward across Nan Dungortheb her party was separated by the shadows. While she succeeded in reaching [[Himlad]] her companions could not find her and were chased away by the spiders. Returning to [[Gondolin]] they reported her as lost to [[Turgon]].<ref>{{S\|Maeglin}}</ref>
		+
		+	[[Beren]], sorely pressed by the forces of [[Morgoth]] who sought for him in [[Dorthonion]], passed over the Ered Gorgoroth and crossed Nan Dungortheb from north to south. He never spoke of his journey through this land lest the horror of it return to his mind.<ref>{{S\|Beren}}</ref>
