Mount Rerir was a mountain on the western side of the Ered Luin, in Thargelion (a region of Beleriand) to the north of Lake Helevorn and one the sources of Gelion.

The land around the mountain belonged to Caranthir, who built a fortress on its western slopes. The fortress was destroyed during Dagor Bragollach. Elven forces probably withdrew from the area after the battle, and most definitely after Nírnaeth Arnoediad.

Inspiration

In The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún, Rerir is the name of the grandson of Ódin.[1]
